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.

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
