“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in”

Food Pantry
A Place of Care, Compassion, and Community
At First Congregational Church of Bakersfield, we believe that no one should go hungry. If you or someone you know could use a little extra support, our FCC Food Pantry is here to help.
Every Wednesday from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM (or while supplies last), we distribute free bags of food—no registration, no questions, just a warm welcome and a helping hand. Whether you’re facing a tough time or simply need a little extra to get through the week, you are welcome here.
Our food pantry is a place of care, compassion, and community, fueled by the generosity of our church and volunteers. If you or someone you know could use this support, please stop by and spread the word!
