This previous weekend, we honored the legacy of Wendy Wayne through service! Kegley Institute of Ethics at California State University, Bakersfield, along with Wendy Wayne Ethic award recipients and community members, joined us at the CAPK Food Bank to build 750 food boxes for our Senior Food Program ensuring that seniors facing food insecurity receive the nourishment they need. Thank you to our incredible volunteers and partners for making a difference! And a special tribute to Wendy Wayne, whose life was dedicated to giving back and creating change.
