About the CAPK Foundation

Home / About

CAPK Foundation was created in 2020 to advance the goals and mission of Community Action Partnership of Kern through fundraising and community building.

The 12-member CAPK Foundation Board of Directors is made up of leaders from the Kern County business, non-profit and government sectors.

The Foundation’s first goal is to support the expansion of the CAPK Food Bank – a critical link to healthy, sustaining food for Kern County residents which provided more than 27 million meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity in every Kern community during 2020. Dramatic increases in need over the past three years have exceeded the current 20,000 square foot Food Bank’s capacity and forced CAPK to rely on rented warehouse space to fulfill its mission.

The CAPK Foundation will guide efforts to raise private funds to match commitments from the City of Bakersfield and Kern County that will increase the size of the CAPK Food Bank by 40,000 square feet and insure our capacity to feed Kern now and into the future.

For more information, please contact Pritika Ram, Director of Administration at CAPKFoundation@CAPK.org or 661-336-5236

“ We are excited to introduce this newly established Community Action Partnership of Kern Foundation to the community. We look forward to the future of CAPK and this Foundation, together meeting the ever-growing needs of Kern County.”

Kevin Burton, Board Chair
