Free food and medical care in Wonder Valley tomorrow (Wednesday, September 25). The Salvation Army Food Distribution takes place starting at 11 a.m. at the Wonder Valley Community Center on Amboy Road. The distribution is first-come, first-served, and ends when there is no more food. The distribution is open to Wonder Valley residents, who self-certify on site. No documentation is required, though you will need to fill out a form the first time you attend. In addition, a dietician will be on hand to give advice on how to cook the foods included in the food distribution.
The Morongo Basin Healthcare District Mobile Medical Unit will be at the Wonder Valley Community Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A nurse practitioner will be on board, providing primary medical care and screenings, and if necessary, prescribing lab tests and refilling prescriptions. Some immunizations are available. Care is provided regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Appointments are encouraged. To schedule an appointment, call 760-365-9305. Walk-ins will be accepted as time permits.
