SUPPORT FOOD INSECURITY
CAPK’s Food Bank is the heart of a dynamic food distribution network that delivers 19 million pounds of staple foods, fresh produce, breads and meat to families in Kern County. Food from federal and state programs, local growers and donations from supporters is distributed to over 208 partner sites where volunteers share the food with those in need. The CAPK Food Bank also delivers food and fresh produce directly to the public through year-round Farmers’ Market events and through the Senior Food Box program.
SUPPORT HOMELESS SERVICES
At our 24-hour facility, we open our doors to those who find themselves without shelter, offering more than just a roof over their heads. M Street Navigation Center offers shelter beds, meals, mental health services, medical care, case management and housing services through local providers to homeless individuals facing immense barriers. At CAPK, our mission goes beyond simple assistance; it's about restoring dignity and hope.
SUPPORT YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES
CAPK operates two Youth Centers in Kern, The Friendship House Community Center & The Shafter Youth Center, both offering a safe and welcoming environment for children through afterschool programs, summer enrichment and youth mentoring. CAPK also operates two Family Resource Centers, Oasis in Ridgecrest and East Kern in Mojave, both providing a variety of services to families in need. The Centers offer resources that are designed to meet the diverse needs of families in the community and help them thrive.
