Imagine opening your refrigerator and finding nothing that could become a real meal. For too many families in Kern County, that’s reality. Now, the government shutdown has made it worse — disrupting paychecks, halting nutrition programs, and pushing more of our neighbors to the brink of hunger.

 

Hunger in our community has become an emergency. Children, seniors, and working families are facing empty cupboards and impossible choices.

 

The CAPK Food Bank is working around the clock to keep food flowing — delivering to rural communities, restocking partner pantries, and ensuring that no one is left behind. But we can’t do it alone.

 

Your support today means food on the table for a family tomorrow.

Stand with us in this critical moment. Give now and help ensure every household in Kern County has access to nutritious food — and the dignity, hope, and stability that come with it.
