Copper Mountain Mesa Community Center

The Copper Mountain Mesa Community Center is about 15 minutes north of downtown Joshua Tree, way out in the desert near the Marine combat center. In the middle of this very rural area, sparsely populated and laced with dirt roads, sits this amazing oasis of desert energy and local community culture.
Programs include First Saturday Breakfast cooked and served by an all-​volunteer staff ($ 5). Delicious and you sit at community tables with super-​friendly desert dwellers. First Tuesday Bingo is a hoot and there’s a CAKE break for $ 1. In addition there’s a USDA Food Distribution for low-​income residents, a PTSD group, monthly board meeting and an incredible THRIFT STORE open during events. Rock bottom prices and new stuff all the time.
Summers bring movies in the outfield screened against a cargo container. Come get a taste of the desert at a community center kept open purely with member funding. You’d be hard pressed to find another place as wonderful as the Copper Mountain Mesa Community Center.
