"Contribution from Shell Oil Products U.S. Will Fund Two Community Service Projects"

Shell Oil Products U.S. has generously made a donation to fund two community service projects to be administered by the City of Bakersfield. Due to budget reductions during the past several years, it has been necessary for the City to cut back or eliminate numerous programs and activities, in order to fund essential services for our citizens. As a result of Shell’s donation, the City will be able to proceed with a sports program for underprivileged youth at the MLK Center and PAL Center, which will be coordinated by the Recreation and Parks Department. The second project will be the production of a public safety education brochure, specifically focused on water safety. The brochure will be a collaborative project between the Fire Department and Recreation and Parks staff. The donation makes it possible for the City to carry out two very positive community programs. Shell’s interest in contributing to the benefit of our community is appreciated.
