Putting smiles on the faces of Kindergarteners!
On August 16th, the day before school started, Standard and Beardsley School District Kindergarteners and their parents met their teachers! Their day was made even more special when they received the backpacks donated by Bakersfield North Rotary Foundation and Chevron. These smiles are the reason that the Kindergarten Roundup continues to be a favorite project of Bakersfield North Rotarians!
Chief Greg Williamson, the Jam, Dusty Wagoner, and all of our Rotarians for making this such a memorable and successful event.
ided by his table in in his absence that the $100.00 should be donated Goodwill Industries!
The Foundation partnered with the local Boys & Girls Club by investing $5000.00 in the purchase of a cargo van for their daily meal delivery program. School-age children in after-school programs from Beardsley to Lamont receive a daily healthy supper prepared at the Club’s kitchen. The van is on the road from 1:00-5:00 and delivered 12000 meals in September. This is a great example of a Service Club and Non-Profit forming a partnership to benefit the community.jpg)

repaired and sold. Our local Goodwill Agency is very similar to a franchise. Goodwill not only offers the public an affordable inventory and an opportunity for tax-deductible donations, but focuses on full time opportunities for people with barriers to employment. Their Mission Services Department focuses on placement services for clients with disabilities. We are so fortunate to have Jake as part of our Rotary Club…now bring us some Jake’s Cake!!!
