Mariposa Volunteers
For the 25th year Manna House has provided a Turkey Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings to the community. This photo is of the volunteers who arrived at the Mariposa Fairgrounds early on Tuesday morning to package up over 350 dinners. With Central Valley towns reported decreasing donations this year, Mariposa County residents again turned out and donated more money this year than last year.
Across the aisle in the fairgrounds building the Kops for Kids program was also reporting more donations this year than last year. With the doors opening at 10:00 A.M., the earliest arrival was at 5:00 A.M., each person is provided with a personal shopper and can pick out two Christmas Presents.
