About Us
We bring our Community together to serve
Businesses - Churches - Families - Farmers - Local Butchers - Non-Profits - Volunteers
Morning Star is a collaborative effort comprised of many moving parts:
Businesses, churches, farm partners, local butchers, non-profits, and volunteers, and local families.
In 2013, Bret Sill saw the need in his city of Bakersfield, and was compelled to do something. Bret used his knowledge, experience
and relational connections in the agriculture and food industry to resource and bring the community of Bakersfield together to meet the tangible need of food insecurity. The goal then and still today, is, to connect the city of Bakersfield to fresh food and connect families to local resources. Morning Star Fresh Food Ministry seeks to meet the physical and tangible need of providing fresh food, and when additional needs are presented; we are able to connect our families to other crucial resources and services in our community! Be sure to check out our community resources page!
Feeding the body is an essential need - but it is temporary. Our heart is to present the gospel of Jesus to everyone who receives a fresh food box, because feeding the soul has eternal impact. Every box is prayed over and we include tools that will help facilitate discussion
among the family and teach the principles of God and the love and hope found in Jesus.
Check out the Bible Page to find tools and links to resources and a list of local churches and non profits in Bakersfield.
