"I'm really glad to see the rain," Dollar Mart owner Khled Saleh said.
 
Slaeh, has lived in Delano for over two decades and rain or shine he spends most of his time in his Dollar Mart store, serving his neighbors who are on the go in the rain. However, he knows what’s happening outside is exactly what his community needs.
