Everyone deserves access to support, dignity, and a community that cares 💛

Join us for the Hope & Help Resource Fair at The Mission at Kern County on Saturday, April 18 from 10 AM – 1 PM. This event is all about connecting our neighbors with practical help and compassionate support.

And here’s where you can help!
We’re currently collecting toiletry kits to give out at the event. Something as simple as shampoo, toothpaste, or deodorant can make a HUGE difference for someone who doesn’t have reliable access to basic necessities.

If you’d like to help, you can shop our toiletry kit list at the link in this post and send supplies directly to The Mission: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33QCC7GFCP2H1?ref_=abls_nvfly_yl
