🚨 Free Nutrition class 🚨

Do you enjoy cooking or want to learn more about nutrition? This class is especially great for those wanting to create more fiscally conscious meals and still have them be nourishing for the body!

The classes take place at Kern Literacy Council on Tuesdays at 1pm starting Feb 7th through March 28th. It’s an 8 week course. Don’t miss out. Link in bio to sign up.

Thank you to our community partners for putting this together!

Community Clean Up on MLK Jr Day! ♥️♥️🗑

Community Clean Up on MLK Jr Day! ♥️♥️🗑️🗑️

“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” - MLK Jr.

In honor and observation of Martin Luther King Jr.

In honor and observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are having our clean up day on Monday, January 16th from 10:30am-12pm.

This day is an opportunity to celebrate Dr. King Jr.’s birthday and achievements of being the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement. We celebrate with an act of service for the community. It might be a bit rainy out so be prepared with jackets and beanies. We will provide the rest! Will you come out and join us?

Stay safe and warm out there! ♥️🌧️

This morning we had a lovely visit at Valley Monte

This morning we had a lovely visit at Valley Montessori Academy. We met with students who chose Children First to distribute twenty gifts which they prepared by selling pumpkin bread. Pumpkin bread which they made from scratch!! They had such great questions and huge hearts for the community! Thank you so much to Miss Cristal and her class!! We will make sure these gifts make their way to kids who need it most! ♥️🎄

This is Jessica Felix, Community Relations Special

This is Jessica Felix, Community Relations Specialist and committee member of Keep Bakersfield Beautiful (KBB). KBB is a committee of the City of Bakersfield operated under the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department.

This is where borrow the trash reachers. Did you know that it’s a free service for any organization or group of people to check the reachers out to clean their neighborhood?! Such a good deal! They have vests too! There’s so many services that are provided. Take the time to look them up! We appreciate our community partners and all you do!

Thank you!! ♥️🗑️

Good morning!! Looking outside the window we found heavy heavy fog! It’s a safety concern that cars might not see people walking the neighborhood, for this reason we are canceling the clean up. We apologize for the inconvenience but safety for you above everything!

Have a restful weekend! ♥️ We will clean next month!

We absolutely love our volunteers and appreciate how they all can embrace the chaos for a great cause! We truly felt the holiday spirit. So much, we had to dance! ➡️ Swipe for some evidence lol. 💃🏻
