Volunteers are still needed to help with Mara’s Christmas Wish, the annual free Christmas Day dinner in Yucca Valley. If you’re interested in volunteering, weekly planning meetings are held at the Yucca Valley Community Center on Tuesday nights at 6:30 p.m. Help is especially needed to decorate the community center on December 22 and 23, set up and serve food on Christmas Day, and clean up on December 26. Financial donations are also needed. See this story at z1077fm.com on how to make a financial contribution.
