Christmas in the Barrio aids Del Rio children for 15th year
Project NINO founder Ruben Barragan leads the Christmas in the Barrio event at Brown Plaza and Rio Verde Cultural Center, expecting up to 2500 needy children.

Volunteers are also needed to decorate on December 24 and supply a large tree and ornaments.
