Join the 1,000 Flags Memorial Day Weekend Event and Support Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary and Blue Zones Project – Bakersfield
Expand community outreach during Mental Health Awareness Month by attending the 1,000 Flags event on May 25, 2024. This partnership between Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary and Blue Zones Project – Bakersfield aims to promote community service and health.

Every year, the Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary provides treats to approximately 120 volunteers, and this year, they are highlighting local Blue Zones-approved restaurants. This includes Locale Farm to Table, Modern Grub, and Sweet Peas Bakery/Better Bowls.
Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary
The Bakersfield Breakfast Rotary is part of Rotary International, a global organization of community leaders dedicated to tackling humanitarian challenges. Their mission includes promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, supporting education, and growing local economies. Organizing events like the 1,000 Flags honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice and brings the community together for a common cause.
The Blue Zones Project – Bakersfield
The Blue Zones Project is inspired by the original Blue Zones—regions where people live exceptionally long and healthy lives. The project applies these principles to improve community health and well-being. The Blue Zones Project aims to reduce chronic disease and increase life expectancy by encouraging healthier lifestyles and promoting nutritious food options.
This partnership is about creating a healthier community and showing the impact of collaborative efforts. Given the alignment with Memorial Day and Mental Health Awareness Month, the event is a perfect opportunity to support those served and promote mental well-being through nutritious food.
