BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — All year long, we've met people who lift others up, change lives, and remind us what community is all about.

We're looking back at the stories that inspired us the most - the moments that showcased generosity, resilience, and the heart of our neighbors. This is the best of Kern's Kindness, a celebration of the people who make Kern County a better place, one good deed at a time.

Some stories highlighted include a new resource center at Bakersfield College helping veterans get back to civilian life, a local tradition turning community generosity into something colorful and chaotic, one local woman spreading the spirit of kindness every day - one dance move at a time, and how the path of redemption starts with just a little bit of kindness.
