Offices for Nonprofit Protecting Local Mountains Close Amid Government Shutdown
The offices for Friends of the Desert Mountains, a nonprofit that partners with the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, have closed due to the ongoing government shutdown.
According to the nonprofit's leadership, this is the first time a shutdown has resulted in staff needing to vacate its offices, located at the mouth of Highway 74 in Palm Desert.
- The shutdown has led to canceled programs, resulting in fewer donations.
- Income has been lost due to the closure of the gift shop.
- Upcoming anniversaries for the monument may be canceled if funding is not restored.
News Channel 3 is speaking with Friends' Executive Director to detail the impacts the shutdown is having on the nonprofit's operation.
