The Jamison Center is a housing/intervention program for children who have been removed from their homes and taken into protective custody by law enforcement. It is a frightening situation for these children who arrive most times with just the clothes on their back and little else. Bakersfield East Rotary Club donates clothes, especially underwear and socks for these kids. Babies are often brought to the facility without diapers or change of clothes. Rotarians from Bakersfield East donate diapers, baby clothes and blankets for the babies and their foster parents. Recently it was brought to Bakersfield East Rotarians attention that the existing barbecue was not functioning. Rotarians immediately went into action and purchased a new barbecue while repairing their existing brick barbecue, bringing it back to working order.
