Pet Food Pantry helps feed hungry animals BY CINDY FRYE Community contributor
T
he pantry is celebrating another milestone! More than 84,000 pounds of pet food has been donated to our pantry over the past three years! This pet food goes into our city to help struggling community members provide for their pet. May has already started to be a busy month for the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry, more than 3,000 pounds of pet food was distributed around town to various distribution locations. More deliveries will be made throughout this month. Because of hard economic times, the prices of goods and services have steadily increased, making everyday expenses difficult. Pets have become hidden victims because pet food is pricey. The Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry was formed three years ago. We are a 100 percent all volunteer, non profit group that help keep pets in their homes
by donating pet food to those in dire need. We operate solely on donations from the public. We assist low income seniors and families, disabled, and the homeless with emergency pet food. Often we make the difference if their pet gets fed or not. Many just need temporary help until they can make ends meet. Others make sure that their pets eat even if they don’t. One lady told us “she understands when there is no food in her house, but her dog doesn’t.” If you are interested in volunteering at one of our monthly pet food bagging events please call 6192029, or email us at: info@bakersfieldpetfoodpantry.org. Our next bagging is June 3 in front of the Self Serve Pet Spa, 2816 Calloway Dr. #103. Like us on facebook for updates on future bagging events, and pantry news. To make a monetary donation our address is: PO Box 20801 Bakersfield Ca 93390 Thank you for your support!
illcrest Memorial Park, a local Dignity Memorial® provider celebrating 50 years serving Bakersfield, announced its annual Memorial Day Ceremony designed to bring the community together to honor and remember America’s heroes who gave their lives in the line of duty. The event will be held on Monday, May 28, at 11:30 a.m. at Hillcrest Memorial Park, 9101 Kern Canyon Road. “Memorial Day gives us a unique opportunity to honor and remember those brave American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, men and women who have died serving our country,” said Curtis Woods II, general manager of Hillcrest Memorial Park. “We are delighted to
host this event that brings families and friends throughout our community together in the spirit of patriotism.” The event will begin with a brief introduction and welcome by Curtis Woods, general manager of Hillcrest Memorial Park, and will include remarks from Congressman Kevin McCarthy of the 22nd District, and Evan Morgan with the Wounded Heroes of America, the day’s guest speakers. Participants in the ceremony include the Reverend John Heath, American Legion Post #26, the combined JROTCs from Bakersfield, South and West high schools, members of the American Legion Auxiliary, units #213 and #682, and Kern County Associated Veterans. Following the ceremony guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments. For more information and directions, call 366-5766.
