About KRV Bridge Connection

Serving the Kern River Valley Community

KRV Bridge Connection (KRVBC) is dedicated to uplifting the Kern River Valley community by bridging the gap between public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Our mission is to bridge individuals and families to services that address food insecurity, homelessness, and the needs of low-income households.

Our Mission

KRVBC is a grassroots hub of united public, private, and non-profit sectors, bridging our underserved with locally accessible advocates and resources to uplift our community as a whole.

Grassroots Beginnings

KRV Bridge Connection began as a small group of individuals meeting to discuss the unique needs of the Kern River Valley. While many essential resources were available, they were primarily located in Bakersfield, making access difficult for valley residents. Our early discussions focused on how we could bring those resources closer to home, ensuring the community had a local hub for support. What began as small conversations quickly grew, culminating in a vision to provide a permanent space for other nonprofits to offer their services directly to the community.

Over the past two years, KRVBC has steadily evolved from these grassroots efforts into a key community resource. We started by helping nonprofits organize events in the valley, such as addiction recovery sessions, resource fairs, and services for winter needs, provided by organizations like CAPK. Each event brought us closer to our goal of bridging the valley’s underserved population with the help and services they need.
