A hi-desert non-profit received an additional service van to assist with providing disabled and senior citizens with rides, as the result of the recent “Dessert Soiree” fundraiser event.
Reach Out Morongo Basin was the recipient of the donated Chrysler Minivan, courtesy of the Yucca Valley Sunset Rotary Club and their fundraising efforts. The van was presented to the club at the Rotary’s meeting Thursday morning (May 23)
The annual Dessert Soiree raised more than $25,000 towards the purchase of the van, which will allow Reach Out Morongo Basin to provide even more rides to those who need to get to doctor’s appointments or grocery stores. The Rotary Club thanked Bob Tenbrook of Yucca Auto Body for negotiating the purchase of the van.
The fundraiser, held in April, raised additional funds beyond the initial goal, and Sunset Rotary Club has dedicated an additional $2500 to the Boys and Girls Club for physical improvements to the facility, scheduled for the fall.
