Emergency drought food distribution to continue

Families impacted by the drought will continue to get food assistance.

The CAPK Food Bank will continue distributing emergency pre-packaged food boxes to families affected by the drought this month.

The Community Action Partnership of Kern will be distributing 30 pound boxes filled with food to families in need.

Last year, Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation to approve $687 million in emergency drought relief including $25 million for food assistance in the Central Valley.
