BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — September is Hunger Action Awareness Month and CAPK is working to alleviate food insecurity in Kern.

There are several opportunities for Kern County locals to show up and provide food for those in need.

The food bank serves people all across Kern County, reaching more than 40 thousand clients monthly.

There’s an opportunity at the end of the month to get free admission into the Kern County Fair through CAPK’s Feed the Need event on Sept. 24.

If you are experiencing food scarcity, dial 211, which connects you to expert, caring help.
Every call is completely confidential, and it’s a hotline that’s available 24/7.

For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to KGET 17.
