A Boy Scout from Yucca Valley saw a need and has stepped up to try and help. Tender Loving Christmas doesn’t have a main collection drop-off center this year. People who want to donate non-perishables, blankets, toys, or toiletries, have to call TLC founder Mara Cantelo, who then sends out a volunteer to pick up the donations. Reporter Sara Snyder has the details about where you can drop off your donations for TLC…
Devan Sterman is working toward his Eagle Scout project with Troop 309 and decided to convert 55-gallon barrels into donation bins for TLC. The collection bins have been placed at the Hi-Desert Star, Wikid Prints, the Boys and Girls club, and at Cantelo’s house in Yucca Valley. In Twentynine Palms, a bin has been placed at the Desert Trail office, and in Joshua Tree, at the Z107.7 studio on Hallee Road. A bin is also at Starbucks in Yucca Valley on Friday from 3 to 9 p.m. For more information, call Cantelo at 760-333-2413.
