BARC Donated to the 17 Days of Christmas Toy Drive! December
WINNER IS: Celia Juni of Lake Isabella
On December 16, 2014, three BARC buses full of members from the Bakersfield ARC Council and Clients from Access Now made their way downtown to the KGET Studios at 2120 L Street! With toys in hand, the Clients excitedly distributed their gifts upon the heap of toys in the studio, to be donated to the 17 Days of Christmas toy drive! KGET teamed with the Boys and Girls Club of Kern County and the Bakersfield Homeless Center to host the toy drive which collected toys for less fortunate
members of the Boys & Girls Club of Kern County and the Bakersfield Homeless Center! When the call for action went out, BARC knew that we needed to support our community by giving to this worthy cause! “We were glad to be able to give back and provide help to the less fortunate kids in the community,” said ARC Council Chairman Jimmy Layton. “It made our season brighter and we hope it brightened the Holidays for all the children too.”
