Thanksgiving Event Food Line
By: Fernando Aguirre, KCHCC Past Chair
East Bakersfield Community Collaborative is a grassroots collaborative made up of residents, business owners, non-profits, churches, law-enforcement personnel and schools working together to improve the East Bakersfield Community. One of the main collaborative events each year is to help provide a Thanksgiving dinner to residents in the community during the Thanksgiving Holiday. From its first year, the event has provided meals to hundreds of residents each year with six hundred meals served last year. Six years ago, the Rotary Club of Bakersfield East provided the funding for all the meals served and has continued its support of the event each year since.
