Supporting Borrego Springs Through Community Giving

The Borrego Springs Bargain Barn stands as a beacon for thrift lovers and community supporters. Located near Christmas Circle at 787 Ave Sureste, this thrift store is no ordinary shop; it's a key player in backing the American Legion Post 853, funding various community and veteran initiatives.


More Than Just Thrifting

Every Purchase Fuels Community Support


The Bargain Barn is pivotal in the American Legion Post 853's community efforts. The post's recent expansion, including a new dining room, highlights its commitment to bringing people together for a cause. Regular events like pancake breakfast fundraisers exemplify how the Legion and the Bargain Barn unite the community for local causes, such as supporting school programs.


The Force Behind the Finds

A Community-Driven Thrift Store


Managed locally and powered by volunteers, the Bargain Barn offers an eclectic mix of items, from household goods, exercise equipment, furniture to vintage wear and more. Open Friday and Saturday, except during summer, this cash-only thrift store is fueled by the community for the community, proving that every little bit helps.


Hidden amongst the treasures, you might just unearth a hidden gem – a vintage find or a unique piece at a fraction of the cost. With so many unpicked items, it's a treasure hunter's paradise!

Borrego Springs ultra-endurance cyclist Sylvia Maas is preparing to take on one of the world's most demanding bicycle races while continuing her efforts to support local students through scholarships and mentorship. Maas will begin the NorthCape–Tarifa Race on June 20, 2026, at 12:01 a.m. from the North Cape in Norway. The self-supported race covers nearly 4,350 miles (7,000 kilometers) across Europe and finishes in Tarifa, Spain, the southernmost point of mainland Europe. The route includes checkpoints in Helsinki, Finland; the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania; Torun, Poland; Bregenz, Austria; Col du Galibier and Nice, France; Port d’Envalira, Andorra; Pico del Veleta, Spain; and Tarifa, Spain. Riders will cross multiple countries, mountain ranges, and some of Europe's most challenging cycling terrain. Maas, a retired teacher, is riding to raise awareness for Bike4BorregoKids , the scholarship initiative she founded after volunteering at Borrego Springs High School and recognizing the need for additional support for graduating seniors. The program provides scholarships, mentorship, leadership development opportunities, and educational experiences designed to help students prepare for college, trade schools, and careers.
