Here at Desert Manna, we celebrate the Christmas season with a Christmas Dinner for the public and a Kids Christmas Party.

We received donations of toys from Jakks Pacifica Toy Company, Angel Tree Ministries, Holiday Inn Express, Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce, Barstow Drug Court, and from individuals.  Our Kids Christmas Party provided a hot lunch for 77 families and 231 kids ages 0-17 received presents from Santa!  A big 'Thank You' to David Jagger and Fidelity Moving Company for donating a truck and drivers to pick up the toys from Jakks Pacifica Toy Company. 

Christmas Dinner:  224 people were served a hot ham dinner with all the fixings.

Christmas Baskets*: 400 households received a ham and a bag of groceries.

* Households were only eligible to receive 1 basket each year - either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Thank you to everyone who made our Christmas Dinner and Kids Party a success this year!
