The Twentynine Palms High School Interact club is currently accepting donations so that 300 local area families will have everything they need to prepare a Thanksgiving meal in their own homes, including the turkey. The Interact club is a community service club sponsored by the Twentynine Palms Rotary Club. Donations of cash or non-perishable food items are being accepted at Twentynine Palms High School through November 16. The goal is that 300 families will receive a turkey and the following basics for their meal: canned cranberries, roll mix, stuffing mix, canned sweet potatoes, instant mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy, and a desert item. These items will be distributed in the Gym at Twentynine Palms High School on Saturday, November 17, from noon to 1 p.m. Anyone who is in need of a turkey and the fixings can sign up at Reach Out Morongo Basin, 760-361-1410. Twentynine Palms Elementary School and Twentynine Palms Junior High School will also be collecting non-perishable food items. Questions can be directed to the TPHS Interact Advisor Lori Cosgriff at 760-900-1169.
