Barton CPA has launched its annual Holiday Food Drive, supporting The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert (The Center) and its vital Community Food Bank serving individuals and families across the Coachella Valley. The accounting firm is collecting nonperishable food items and financial donations now through December 19, with convenient drop-off locations at both its Palm Springs and Palm Desert offices. Barton CPA’s team — known for their friendly, community-minded approach and famously playful humor — has set a goal of delivering their largest donation ever to The Center this holiday season.
