BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Flood Ministries, the primary provider of street outreach in Kern County, is having a telethon fundraiser today in honor of Giving Tuesday.

This morning Outreach Specialist Adam Cark from Flood Ministries joined 23ABC to discuss their fundraiser and how people can donate.

Celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving every year, Giving Tuesday began in 2012 as a partnership between New York's 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation with one stated goal: Encourage people to do good.

Your donation to Flood Ministries will profoundly impact our efforts to reduce homelessness in Kern County.
