On Wednesday, July 28th around 10:30 PM a fire broke out at the Valley Feeding Project warehouse. It is a total loss. We are devastated.

Valley Feeding Project is a non profit that partners with the community to provide free and discounted food to those in need. We partner with many local non-profits and organizations to feed Kern County's most vulnerable and hungry populations. We also provide food to low income seniors and people relying on food stamps.

Valley Feeding has been able to donate millions of pounds of food to churches and other organizations providing free food those in need and the homeless. To pay for the expenses of running the food ministry warehouse, we collect a small shared maintenance fee for some of the food items.

Immediate needs:

**Warehouse Space to receive and store pallets of dry goods
**Refrigeration space
**Dry/cool storage place
**A place in downtown (ideally) Bakersfield to have a retail space.

Some of the major items we lost include:

6,000 sq ft warehouse space we were renting

Tens of thousands of dollars worth of food will need to be replaced

Commercial freezers and refrigerators

(3) Walk in freezer and refrigeration units

Over 20 refrigerators and freezers

2 forklifts

5 big white Ice chests

Cash register

30 pallet racks
