Our Back 2 School Drive was a resounding success! Hosted by our Friendship House Community Center, we kicked off the new school year in style. We gave away FREE backpacks filled with school essentials, offered FREE haircuts to help the little ones look their best, and distributed food boxes from our Food Bank to ensure no family went hungry. We started the school year right, feeling good and ready to learn! Thank you for joining us and making this school year start off on a high note! We will see you again next year! #CAPKInAction #backpackdrive #bakersfield #YouthService #supportingyouth

And so, with great excitement, we announce the date for our second annual Gourmet for Good event: June 7, 2025. Mark your calendars, because we can't wait to recreate the memories and see you all there!
