Statements & Search Criteria Statements Mission Statement Community Action Partnership of Kern shall provide and advocate for resources that will empower Kern County residents to become self-sufficient. Background Statement Community Action Partnership of Kern was founded in 1965 as the local federally designated Community Action Agency in the fight against poverty in Kern County. CAPK was established with funding under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, in a period of great social change during the Civil Rights decade of the 1960's. The agency’s vision is rooted in the Community Action Promise that: “Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.” CAPK assists over 90,000 unduplicated low-income individuals and families annually through: • Head Start; • Early Head Start; • Parent and Family Engagement; • CAPK's Food Bank Network of some 110 distribution/pantry sites; • 2-1-1 Kern Social Service Helpline; • Women, Infants & Children (WIC) Nutrition Program; • Migrant Childcare Alternative Payment (MCAP) Program; • Green Energy Program (including energy assistance and weatherization); • HIV/AIDS Prevention and Testing; • Shafter Youth Center in Shafter; • Friendship House Community Center in Southeast Bakersfield; • Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA); • East Kern Family Resource Center in the desert community of Mojave; and • Kern Food Policy Council. CAPK also has a solid online presence through its website, www.capk.org, and its Facebook pages for the organization, www.facebook.com/capkern, and the CAPK Food Bank, www.facebook.com/capkfoodbank. Impact Statement CAPK serves Kern’s residents via an integrated network of services. Some noteworthy accomplishments in the past year, and goals for the coming year include: The Food Bank increased its capacity to store fresh/frozen foods thanks to an additional 2,250 sq.ft. of walk-in refrigerator and freezer space. The added capacity allowed it to increase the amount of produce distributed to hungry families by 55%, and to accept a major donation of meat from more than 200 heads of livestock auctioned at the 2013 Kern County Fair. In 2014, the Food Bank will be able to store and distribute more fresh/frozen produce, meat and dairy products because of these infrastructure improvements. The VITA program completed 3,962 free tax returns for Tax Year 2012, stimulating the local economy in 2013 with some $6 million dollars from recovered returns. However, the program has seen a large reduction of federal funds from the IRS for TY 2013 (2014 tax season), and CAPK’s goal is to keep the program viable by procuring funding from alternative sources. In 2013, CAPK was one of only five Community Action Agencies in the nation to receive a technical assistance grant from the Corporation for Economic Development to learn how to better provide financial empowerment services to Head Start families. Throughout 2014, CAPK will learn new ways to help Head Start parents access VITA, energy assistance, banking and other financial services to help them become self-sufficient. In partnership with The California Endowment and United Way, CAPK launched the Kern Food Policy Council in 2013, as a forum for representatives from many sectors of the community to come together for the purpose of ending chronic hunger in Kern County. CAPK plans to launch the Food Policy Council’s website in late 2014. CAPK’s East Kern Family Resource Center opened in Mojave in 2013. The center will go on serving East Kern’s vulnerable families via linkage to Head Start, WIC and other programs.

Needs Statement 1.CAPK VITA Program: $61,000 to help fund the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program for Tax Year 2013 (Tax Season ending April 15, 2014). There is currently no funding for Kern County from the Internal Revenue Service, and donor funds will go a long way toward helping to pay for 2 Staff, program materials and the costs of volunteer recruitment and training. 2.CAPK Food Bank: $264,000 needed to install solar panels on the roof of the Food Bank. The Solar Energy Project would help the Food Bank offset high electricity costs ($1 million over a 30-year period), and moneys could be reinvested into the purchase, transport and distribution of food for Kern County’s hungry and food insecure residents. 3.CAPK Food Bank: $100,000-$120,000 for the purchase of an approx. 20-foot box truck with refrigeration capabilities to transport fresh and frozen foods to and from the Food Bank. A new truck is needed that will comply with stricter California emissions standards. 4.Friendship House Community Center: $46,400 still needed to meet the Capital Campaign goal of $125,400 for “The Quad”: an 11,000 sq.ft. gathering spot with landscaping and picnic tables. 5.Volunteering with Youth: Please call CAPK’s Friendship House at (661) 369-8922 or Shafter Youth Center at (661)746-8235. CEO/Executive Director Statement CAPK is a unique and special organization serving all areas of Bakersfield and Kern County. Due to our large size (12 programs, 700 employees, 18 owned properties, 42 Head Start Centers, and a network of 110 Food Bank pantries and commodity distribution sites in partnership with other nonprofits), we are able to serve every city, town and hamlet throughout Kern’s 8,200 square miles. To reach many of our community’s most hard to serve residents in areas deemed “too small to serve” by other organizations, we have utilized mobile office units to ensure they receive the assistance and care they need. Our agency is an active participant in such community-building efforts as the Kern County Homeless Collaborative, the Kern Food Policy Council and the Early Childhood Council of Kern. As an organization, CAPK is highly visible and transparent. Our annual detailed audits are reviewed and vetted publicly by our 15-member Board of Directors, which is made up of three equally represented sectors of the community: Elected officials; Private Industry; and Low-Income. Monthly Board of Director meetings are open to the public and follow the California open meeting law. This results in an operation that is a gold standard and beyond reproach when it comes to properly tracking and disseminating public and donated funds. CAPK is committed to the promise of Community Action, which “changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.” Kern continues to be negatively impacted by harsh economic downturns, high levels of poverty manifested by food insecurity, inadequate housing, poor health conditions, elevated crime rates, and low educational attainment. We are committed to alleviating the needs of Kern’s most vulnerable residents. We believe in providing services that will improve the quality of life and offer individuals and families opportunities for growth. Recent economic challenges have resulted in drastic budget reductions to many of the programs offered by CAPK and its partners. To continue our efforts, it is imperative that we review how we operate, re-examine our priorities and strategies, and strive to be innovative in the use of our resources and delivery of services. We must explore new opportunities within our core programs, call upon community leaders from the private sector, government and philanthropy to take action and become engaged in solving our community’s most pressing issues together.

As its name implies, Community Action Partnership of KERN primarily serves Kern, California's third largest county, with an area of some 8,200 quare miles. However, thanks to child-focused programs such as Head Start and Migrant Childcare Affordable Payment, CAPK is able to stretch its service footprint to Kings, Tulare, Fresno, Madera, Merced, and San Bernadino counties as well, thereby making a significant impact throughout Central/Southern California. CAPK is headquartered in Bakersfield.

Programs Programs Food Bank Description

The Food Bank was founded in 1982 to meet the food and nutritional needs of the economically disadvantaged residents of Kern County. The primary purpose of the Food Bank is “to acquire food to alleviate hunger in Kern County,” simply “because no one should go hungry.” In 2012, the Food Bank distributed over 6.1 million pounds of food to 130,000 individuals. The Food Bank partners with an extensive network of over 100 pantry and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) commodity sites and 20 referral agencies and hundreds of volunteers. The Food Bank is a first responder to disasters and county-wide emergencies.

Budget

Category

Food, Agriculture & Nutrition, General/Other Food Distribution

Population Served

Families, Poor,Economically Disadvantaged,Indigent, Unemployed, Underemployed, Dislocated

Short Term Success

Provide 130,000 food insecure individuals, children, and families with nutritious foods to supplement their monthly needs.

Long term Success

The Food Bank continues to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of “empty calories” distributed to clients. Efforts have led to sustained partnerships with providers of fresh produce and other perishable food items. On average, the Food Bank distributes over 2 million lbs of perishable food to children and families.

Program Success Monitored By

The Food Bank measures program success by the number of individuals and families served and the pounds of food distributed throughout Kern County. The number of pounds distributed is an important factor as the number of individuals and families served is relative to the average food bag. The average food bag provided to families is between 25 to 30 pounds of food for a family of four (4). For families of 5 or above, the food bag averages between 50 and 70 pounds of food. A meal consists of: rice, beans, canned fruit, vegetable, meats, sauces, canned beef stew, peanut butter, and frozen meat, etc and is supplemented by local donations of bread and other fruit.

Examples of Program Success

Last year, the Food Bank distributed roughly 6.1 million pounds of food to some of Kern County's most vulnerable populations. Distribution sites are located throughout all of Kern County— including Arvin, Lamont, Shafter, Caliente, Wasco, Tehachapi, Ridgecrest, Taft, Frazier Park, Delano, McFarland, California City, Lost Hills and elsewhere. Additionally, the Food Bank is a receipient of the Kern Council of Governments’ “Regional Award of Merit for Community Involvement” as a result of the success of the monthly resource fairs. The resource fairs provide upwards of 1,500 low-income residents annually, easy access to the continuum of services in the community through a partnership with 14 health and social service organizations.

Shafter Youth Center Description

In December 2003, the CAPK Shafter Youth Center (SYC) was established through a $1.3 million grant from the California Youth Authority and a $249,000 match and a land donation from the City of Shafter. The Center provides services to low-income youth ages 6-21. Current SYC programs include an after-school program that provides a welcoming environment for community youth to feel safe and participate in daily activities such as homework assistance, tutoring, arts and crafts, a reading program, hands-on computer lab activities, a Wii Stay Fit fitness program, and recreational sports. In addition, the program offers a summer program, Information and Education (teen pregnancy prevention program), and a monthly commodities distribution. The Center is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.

In connection with the VITA program, CAPK has also operated a financial literacy and Individual Development Account (IDA) program, administered an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach program, and has operated a Tax Credit for the Elderly (TCE) program. The VITA program provides tax preparation services year round. During the 2012 tax season, the program e-filed 4,233 returns.

Budget

$130,000.00

Category

Human Services, General/Other Financial Counseling

Population Served

General/Unspecified, Migrant Workers,

Short Term Success

The program's short term success is determined by the number of tax returns filed, volunteer hours donated, and ITIN applications completed.

Long term Success

The program's long-term success is chararterized by the dollars that it is able to bring back to the Kern economy through the tax preparation services. Over the last tax season, the CAPK VITA program was able to increase the total EITC refunds awarded to applicants by $354,392 and total federal refunds by $214,211.

Program Success Monitored By

The overall effectiveness of the VITA program is measured by achieving the set number of filed tax returns, the results of the client satisfaction surveys, and the return on investment provided by the tax returns prepared and filed by the VITA program.

Examples of Program Success

CAPK VITA has received a number of service recognitions from the State Franchise Tax Board and the IRS positioning the program as a viable community service.

Experience Jeremy Tobias was appointed Executive Director of Community Action Partnership of Kern in January of 2009. A graduate of San Diego State University, where he majored in Geography, with an emphasis on Urban Planning and Transportation Planning, Mr. Tobias began his career as a city planner for municipal governments. A deep curiosity about the relationship between humans and the urban environment eventually led him to become the City Manager for the City of Delano at age 29--one of the youngest city managers in California history. Along the way, Mr. Tobias acquired and nurtured a particular expertise in economic and community development activities, particularly those pertaining to the improvement of the human experience in an urban environment. Most recently, Mr. Tobias was Vice President of Community Development at SunCal, a large land planning and development company based in southern California. This unique blend of career experience in both the private and public sectors—with a keen eye for humanfocused community development and a deep passion for service—has placed Mr. Tobias in a position to help improve our community and assist those in need. Mr. Tobias is a native of Bakersfield and a graduate of Garces Memorial High School. He is married and has three children, all of whom are currently attending schools in our community.

Comments CEO Comments Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) operates efficiently, and has kept administrative costs between 6% and 9% of total expenditures over the past several years. By placing an emphasis on program operations and services, CAPK provides significant return on invested capital. Our overhead administrative costs are well below industry recommended limits. It is important to remember that with twelve programs, CAPK maintains offices in 27 cities and rural communities and delivers services at over 100 sites. Facilities and program centers are located in the communities of Adelanto, Arvin, Bakersfield, Big Bear, Boron, Buttonwillow, California City, China Lake, Crestline, Delano, Frazier Park, Inyokern, Johannesburg, Lake Isabella, Lamont, Lost Hills, Maricopa, McFarland, Mojave, Phelan, Ridgecrest, Rosamond, Shafter, Taft, Tehachapi, Wasco, and Wofford Heights. The agency‘s statewide Migrant Childcare Alternative Payment (MCAP) Program enrolls families throughout six Central Valley counties: Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, and Tulare. In 2012, CAPK contracted to expand Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition assistance services into northwest San Bernardino County. CAPK partners with numerous public and nonprofit agencies in the delivery of services to Kern County residents. On March 1, 2013, the federal government enacted “sequestration,” a series of automatic across-the-board cuts meant to reduce federal spending, with the likelihood that sequestration could span several years. However,

CAPK views this as an opportunity for strategic transformation and a healthy rethinking of CAPK’s current business model. CAPK must continue to do more with less and move the agency forward on behalf of its clients while continuing to uphold the Promise of Community Action. CAPK is responding to today’s new challenges in several ways. One is implementing an improved management reporting program by supporting Results-Oriented Management Accountability standards. A review of National Performance Indicators and increased attention to project results will lead to updated standardized reporting in the near future. We are not content with a static management system and therefore seek to improve our organization and services on a continual basis. By adapting to changing funding opportunities and offering existing fiscal accountability that is proven to be beyond reproach, CAPK is well positioned to continue leading the effort against poverty in Kern County.

CEO Comments CAPK has a 15-member tri-partite Board comprised of five (5) public officials (or their representatives), five (5) democratically elected low-income community representatives, and five (5) representatives from the private sector. Current public sector Board members include representatives from the City of Bakersfield Mayor’s Office, the Kern County Board of Supervisors, the 23rd U.S. Congresional District, the 18th State Senate District, and the 34th State Assembly District. Private sector representatives are selected among requesting entities when vacancies occur. Four of the five low-income representatives must apply from the four judicial Kern County districts (North Kern, East Kern, South Kern and Greater Bakersfield). The fifth low-income representative is the appointed Board Chair of the Head Start Parent Policy Council. These low-income representatives must be low-income individuals themselves or represent low-income communtities—for example, the current North Kern Representative is the Executive Director of the City of Wasco Housing Authority and the Steering Committee Chair of the Kern County Homeless Collaborative. Community members have the opportunity to recommend, encourage, and apply for a position on the Board of Directors as vacancies arise. In addition, the low-income sector representative for each geographic area is chosen on the basis of a community election. Residents are solicited for nominations and encouraged to cast their ballots to elect the low-income sector representative for their region. Low-income and private sector representatives serve for 5 year terms. Public sector representatives for state and federal offices are rotated to allow equal representation on the board. The representation from the City of Bakersfield and County of Kern are at the discretion of these entities.

Comments CEO Comments As a publicly funded charity, CAPK is unique in that it accesses a variety of funding streams (federal, state, local, private and foundation grants; corporate and private gifts and sponsorships; individual donations; fees for services) to ensure long-term sustainability and serve the low-to-moderate income residents of Kern County.

Due to the recent financial crisis and still sluggish U.S. economy, CAPK, along with other charitable organizations, faces increasing funding challenges. Not only are government funding sources being reduced, but competition for private funding to support community efforts has increased. This is the new funding landscape in the face of Kern’s growing needs in the areas of poverty and food insecurity. Nonetheless, CAPK has continued to provide poverty-fighting, basic-needs and financial social work services throughout Kern, even expanding its service footprint thanks to new ventures such as East Kern Family Resource Center in Mojave (2013) and the WIC Nutrition Program in San Bernardino (2012). CAPK has thus become a community leader in the implementation of grassroots solutions to such severe local problems as the lack of affordable childcare; lack of access to affordable nutritious food; and youth gangs and crime. With programs that range from 2-1-1 to Head Start, HIV Prevention to youth centers in Shafter and Southeast Bakersfield, and more, CAPK continues to deliver important services while meeting financial challenges head on. We apply for a variety of funding and collaboration opportunities to ensure sustainability for the agency’s dozen signature programs. CAPK’s financial systems adhere to strict auditing principles required of major state and federal contracts and apply to all programs regardless of size or revenue source. Financial statements may be viewed at any of our monthly Board meetings—schedules and minutes of which are available on our website,www.capk.org> About Us > Public Documents/Agendas. Because CAPK is a publicly funded charity that receives significant government funding, staff are limited from engaging in fundraising activities. However, CAPK holds a number of program-specific fundraisers, typically for the Food Bank, Shafter Youth Center or Friendship House Community Center. Throughout the year, the Food Bank hosts food/fund drives to procure foodstuffs and defray operational costs to feed the hungry. The one yearly fundraiser to benefit the whole agency happens in spring, during our Humanitarian Awards Banquet, where moneys are raised through ticket sales. Foundation Staff Comments Financial figures taken from 990s and informed by audits. 990s and audits are reconciled.
