Kern County Child Support Services

Kern County Child Support Services believes in creating a better life for children. This year, we are hosting our 15^th annual Ready-Set Back 2 School Health and Wellness Fair. The purpose of this event is to connect families and children with community resources. During this event, Kern County children receive free backpacks with school supplies to help them be prepared to go back to school. There will also be free community resource information provided.

You can also drop off and donate new backpacks at any Valley Strong Credit Union branch now through July 31^st.
