Food insecurity in the Kern River Valley is a critical issue, driven by a high poverty rate of 40.7%—significantly above the national average—which creates substantial barriers to accessing adequate nutrition. Gardening is a powerful tool to combat food insecurity, offering a path to self-sufficiency and fresh, nutritious produce.
KRVBC has the Garden Beds and connection to the Know-How...
We need donors who desire to help us fund the seeds, the soil, the water and the tools which then becomes the classroom for learning about planting, picking, preparing, and preserving. Which then becomes Community Resilience and Hope.
“Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.” - Anthony Bourdain
