As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the well-being of our students and families, Bakersfield High School is pleased to invite you to our upcoming Farmers Market Food Distribution. In partnership with CAPK Food Bank, we will be providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious food items to help support healthy families and a stronger community.


📅 Date: November 5, 2026
🕤Time: 9:30 a.m. until supplies last
📍Location: Bakersfield High School Stadium Parking Lot (Access via Campus Way)


Food will be distributed FREE of charge while supplies last, so we encourage families to arrive early. This event is open to all families and community members.


At Bakersfield High School, we are committed to supporting our families by connecting them with resources that promote health, wellness, and overall well-being. We are proud to partner with community organizations to ensure our families have access to valuable services and support.
