The Mission at Kern County 
Summary
The Mission at Kern County, formally The Bakersfield Rescue Mission has been serving the community since 1952. In October, we celebrated 60-years of providing hope and restoration to a hurting population in our city. The Mission at Kern County provides shelter to nearly 300-guests each night, through our Homeless Intervention Services and Christian Discipleship Residential Program. Every year, The Mission serves more than 200-thousand meals...that's more than 500 meals every day... and this January, we plan to unveil our new 18-Bed after care program aimed at helping residents transitional into the working after graduation. Join with the Mission at Kern County, and help us transform lives through the power of Jesus Christ!
