We got a taste of Bakersfield heat and oh man, was it challenging. Big gratitude to our volunteers that did not quit, took breaks when needed and got 250 boxes made and distributed. Our community is a good one. Thank you to everyone that came out!

This Thursday catch us at the David Nelson Pocket

This Thursday catch us at the David Nelson Pocket park! Come volunteer or come by to grab a box of food for the family.

There are two ways to get a box:
1) our walk up table
2) curbside pick up (car necessary).

If lining up for curbside pick up, please be mindful of the street intersections. We ask that you do not block the intersections. Other cars and residents still need to be able to access the roads and their driveways.

If the curbside line becomes too long, as a matter of safety we will begin passing out boxes early. However this is only when our volunteers are ready to start distribution.

If you have any questions please feel free to send a DM or email Celina at Celina@childrenfirstbakersfield.org.

Happy Monday!
