    Angela and Liz outside the Desert Best Friend's Closet Palm Desert Boutique!

    To be honest I think Desert Best Friend's Closet is one of my favorite non profits in the Coachella Valley. Everyone involved really cares about the community and helping their clients. Their Interview Attire Program enables clients to make a positive first impression at job interviews. They discovered that clients need more than professional attire to secure employment, so they created the Bridge to Employment Program to complement their Interview Attire Program. Learning that Bridge to Employment teaches clients how to conduct a successful job search and that the work doesn't stop there really made me feel invested in the organization. Please donate or shop at their Palm Desert Boutique.

    Not a word from the worker. Microaggressions towards another customer. Put down my items and left.

    I've tried to donate to this institution several times, and each time I was told they weren't…read moreaccepting donations. It seems they are selective and are more open to NEW items. I've never heard of donation discrimination, especially when it comes to organizations like this. My largest grievance is the representatives don't have the decency to explain honestly what the reason is. Their excuses: 1) we don't have the CAPACITY 2) we are not taking USED items. Well, if you don't have the capacity, then there is no real need for this business in the area, and if you're only taking used items, then their clients are either very picky or they don't believe items are cleaned prior to donating. Yelper, if you are one that has a desire to help those abused and put out of their homes, I suggest to donate your mildly loved and barely used items elsewhere.

    This place just like to act all shinny and pretty, but it's all about funds paying for new…read morebuildings and not actually helping out the victims. They never answer the phones, they don't offer help legally or otherwise. Sure they can find you a shelter but that's it. How does that help again? Where's the advocates to be there for support? Where is the advocates helping you file restraining orders? Helping you get out and on your feet? I haven't found them, legal aid does NOT go with you to court anymore ... they will only help you file paperwork for a divorce, but it has to be simple, the 15 min speak with a lawyer is absolutely nothing, they say if you pay 35$ you can get a lawyer, wrong! You pay to get a referral to a lawyer, and no, that lawyer is not free. With all the donations this shelter gets, you would think they would have better resources to help the victims, and survivors of domestic violence abuse. So hey, just keep building those pretty buildings... This is my opinion, my personal experience with this company, that I wanted to share with you. Stay safe out there, always remember you are beautiful, you are smart, and you are loved!

During most of that time, I admit to…read morebeing blind to how much damage me and my fellow desert neighbors were during to our true home. I took care of the roof over my head but disregarded all that natural beauty that extended beyond property lines. This all changed when I took a natural resources class at College Of The Desert taught by professor Kurt Leuschner. I realized just how delicate the very ground I stood on was. This is where I also learned about Friends Of The Desert Mountains. Friends Of The Desert Mountains is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the conservation of land resources in the Coachella Valley. Some of their programs are trail stewardship, invasive weed control, interpretive hikes, trash cleanup and youth education. You can volunteer your time and experience a greater sense of pride and accomplishment in being a resident of the Coachella Valley. Worthwhile work, considering Friends Of The Desert Mountains has successfully protected over 50,000 acres of land since 1987, my backyard included.

Don't miss this treasure when you're in the Coachella Valley, and make sure to go for the Wildflower Festival!
