Desert Retina Consultants Holiday Food Drive!

Posted on: November 26, 2025

At Desert Retina Consultants, our commitment to eye health goes hand in hand with caring for the communities we serve. This holiday season, we’re excited to extend our support beyond the exam room by hosting a community food drive to benefit families in need throughout the Coachella Valley. We invite all our patients, friends, and neighbors to join us in making a difference. 

From now through December 19th, each of our Desert Retina Consultants locations is collecting non-perishable food items and essential supplies. Every donation, big or small, helps ensure that families in our community have access to nutritious meals and essential household items during the holiday season.

Most Needed Items: 

• Canned meats, soups, and beans 
• Peanut butter and other nut butters  
• Pasta, rice, and boxed meals  
• Canned fruits and vegetables  
• Cereal and shelf-stable milk  
• Baking supplies (flour, sugar, muffin or cake mixes) 
• Personal care items (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper)  
• Diapers 

All donations collected will be distributed to Martha’s Village and Kitchen, an organization dedicated to providing food, shelter, and support to those experiencing hardship in the Coachella Valley. By contributing to this drive, you are not only providing nourishment but also bringing hope and comfort to those who need it most during the holidays. 

We encourage everyone to participate and spread the word. Together, we can make a tangible difference—helping our neighbors enjoy full plates and warm hearts this season. Drop off your items at any of our Desert Retina Consultants locations before December 19th, and join us in celebrating the spirit of giving.
