The Blessing Corner proudly serves our Bakersfield Community
Day to Day in the Community
Hot Meals & Food Supplies
Anyone and we mean ANYONE, that is in need of a hot meal, food basket, or clothing is welcome to stop by for assistance. We serve lunch every Tuesday and Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday directly after church service.
Thursdays
In addition on Thursdays, we take meals and care packages on the road to various homeless camps.
Senior Service
We have adopted several neighboring housing communities where we currently serve 400 seniors. These visits are a very welcomed time by these often-forgotten individuals, who are usually found lonely and alone. We provide holiday hot meals, food baskets, toiletries, and other day to day necessities.
Job Training
Our sincerest desire is to see those that benefit from our services become gainfully employed. To this end, we are partnered with several human services provider agencies. These collaborations allow us the opportunity to train welfare to work parents to become gainfully employed.
