BRWF CARING FOR AMERICA PROGRAM

Have a Heart Food Drive           

We had a great start to our Caring for America project for February! Let’s continue to make an impact in our community.

We’re all aware that food insecurity is at an all-time high in Kern County and across the nation and the reasons are varied; however, the pandemic, which led to the shutdown of our economy and lost jobs, exacerbated the situation. Here’s an opportunity to make a difference; we’re having a food drive in February and we’re calling it “February’s – Have a Heart Food Drive’ and we’ve partnered with Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) to assist them in filling up their food bank.  We will be collecting non-perishable food and monetary donations for the whole month of February and below are samples of the type of food CAPK is looking to collect.

If you would rather make a monetary gift, CAPK accepts cash and checks and if you choose to write out a check, make it out to CAPK Food Bank. Please give me a call at (661) 873-7615 and together we’ll coordinate a date/time to pick up your donation. 

If you’re interested in learning more about Community Action Partnership of Kern, their mission, and the services they provide to our Kern County Community, visit their organizational website at https://www.capk.org/ or follow them on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/capkern, Twitter https://twitter.com/CAP_kern, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cap_kern/, and LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/community-action-partnership-of-kern.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for providing hope to those in need.
