Opportunities From: Community Action Partnership of Kern

Hello volunteers and welcome to The CAPK Food Bank! We are so excited to host y'all for a fruitful morning of box building, and we are beyond grateful for your eagerness to help us feed our neighbors.

If possible, please arrive 15mins early so we can work on getting y'all checked in. To make this an eggscellent experience please see below for some helpful things to know before you arrive!  

Sign-ups! 

We encourage everyone to sign up for the event ahead of time to make your check-in process easy peasy lemon squeezy! We will email a step-by-step sign-up guide to your event organizer(s) to send out to y'all in case you get stuck, and if you need extra support, please contact Ashley Padron at apadron@capk.org

What to Wear?

Closed toed, non-slip shoes are required! Just please no UGGS or CROCS as they pose as a slip/trip hazard and we want to make sure everyone stays safe while on site.

Got Gloves? Bring'em! Folks tend to find these helpful when breaking down cardboard and sorting through product. 

Where to meet? 

You can find us at 1807 Feliz Drive, behind The American Job Center, but we encourage you to use our directions below to better find the front of our warehouse. Google and Apple maps tends to send folks on a little side quest to the back of our warehouse or to another part of the neighborhood all together.

Please note that if you do end up at the back of our warehouse you'll need to go around to the front as the back gate is only available for our delivery trucks to enter through.

Thank you again for choosing to volunteer with us here The CAPK Food Bank.
