Video Transcript: 16th Annual Ready-Set Back 2 School Health & Wellness Fair | Kern County Child Support Services

[00:00:00] Kern County Child Support Services
[00:00:02] hosted our 16th annual Ready Set Back to
[00:00:04] School Health and Wellness Fair, an
[00:00:06] event that brings our community together
[00:00:08] to support local families. Every August,
[00:00:11] we celebrate Child Support Awareness
[00:00:12] Month by giving back to our community
[00:00:14] and ensuring kids can go back to school
[00:00:16] with the essentials they need. Our
[00:00:18] department and partners fund raise to
[00:00:20] provide free backpacks, school supplies,
[00:00:23] shoes, free services, and giveaways. At
[00:00:26] our event, families enjoy fun activities
[00:00:28] as well as access to local resources to
[00:00:30] help families start the school year
[00:00:32] strong. We also ensure we reach
[00:00:34] communities in areas outside of
[00:00:36] Bakersfield by hosting backpack giveaway
[00:00:39] events in Deleno, Ridgerest, Lost Hills,
[00:00:42] Taft, Lamont, and Mojave. Thank you to
[00:00:46] our partners at the Kern County Bar
[00:00:47] Association, Valley Strong Credit Union,
[00:00:51] 23 ABC News, and the Kern County Museum,
[00:00:54] and all our generous volunteers with the
[00:00:56] dedicated team members who help make
[00:00:58] this event memorable for families in
[00:01:00] Kern County. Together, we continue to
[00:01:02] make a difference in the lives of
[00:01:04] children.
