On Monday, November 23 at 7:30 AM, Bakersfield North Rotary (BNR) along with Chevron, North High, Frontier High, CSUB Basketball, and Standard School District volunteers, will package and distribute 350+ Thanksgiving food baskets for North of the River families who might otherwise not have a Thanksgiving dinner. The distribution to families will take place via drive through, for families identified in advance through Standard School District.
This is the 26th year that Bakersfield North Rotary has raised money for their Thanksgiving Basket project. It is a favorite project among Bakersfield North Rotarians who generously donate funds to make this project happen. In addition to donating personally, these Rotarians help secure corporate sponsorships and volunteer services from companies like Chevron, and Supervisor Jeff Flores’ office. BNR also receives in-kind donations from Allied Potato, Goodwill, the Wonderful Company and Standard School District. The efforts and the generosity of Rotarians help to ensure that these families have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner that they can prepare at home among loved ones. Pre-selected families will receive the baskets at the Standard Middle School Multi-Purpose Room located at 1222 N. Chester Avenue.
Surplus funds raised by Bakersfield North Rotarians during this year’s Thanksgiving Basket project will go to support Church Without Walls to help families year-round who face food insecurity. Church Without Walls is an organization that feeds the unhoused and hungry in the Oildale area.
