BARC’s mission is to build a stronger community by helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve individual goals for a better life.

During the fundraising period, the public can log on to the Give Big Kern website and search for or go through a list of local non-profit organizations. Anyone can either give a monetary donation or sign up to work voluntary hours.
