Kern River Valley residents have been hard hit by rising fuel and food costs. When Al Steuart heard that the local food banks were almost empty he decided to organize a food drive. The Caravan for Compassion drove around Lake Isabella, stopping in six communities: Kernville, Wofford Heights, Lake Isabella, Mountain Mesa, Southlake and Southfork.
Dr. Holly Spohn-Gross of Mountain Mesa’s Sienna Wellness Institute coordinated the effort: “It was very successful. We filled over a truckload of food for this valley and we can’t wait to do it again. We are committed to making sure that everyone in this valley for Thanksgiving has a meal so the weekend before we are going to do it again.”
The food collected will be split between two non-profits that feed the needy: The Food Pantry in Lake Isabella and God’s Storehouse in Weldon. The Caravan for Compassion will take to the streets again on Saturday, November 22.
