It’s a celebration for all we have accomplished over the past year. It’s also an opportunity for us to raise funds to keep feeding families in East Bakersfield and to recognize supporters of the Applecore project like Budget Bolt!

Budget Bolt has spent decades serving our community, and the family behind this local business has found a special place in ours.

From food distributions to garden days and youth art classes, they keep showing up with heart.

They even helped rescue a dog in need at the garden - now lovingly known as Cinnamon!

It about that time! The 4th Annual Party in the Garden October 16th at Luigi’s. It’s a celebration for all we have accomplished over the past year. It’s also an opportunity for us to raise funds too keep feeding families in East Bakersfield and to recognize supporters of the Applecore project like Kaiser Permanente ❤️❤️❤️

Kaiser Permanente has been our ride or die from the beginning. Their early grant funding helped
bring Grace Street Garden to life, and they’ve continued to stand beside us as we’ve grown. So much
of what happens in this space started with someone believing in what was possible. Thank you, Kaiser
Permanente, for that belief and for your continued support as a Platinum Sponsor!
