Crisis Management by the Borrego Ministers Association

Share

How Swift Action and Community Support Made a Difference

In a recent newsletter, the Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) highlighted their coordinated efforts to support a local family in Borrego Springs who faced a devastating loss in December 2022. Just before Christmas, a fire tragically destroyed the family’s home, leaving them without a place to live. Thankfully, the family members were unharmed, but the emotional impact was significant.


Quick Community Mobilization


As soon as the news broke, the BMA, in collaboration with local partners, sprang into action. They worked swiftly to ensure the family had immediate support. Extended family members provided temporary shelter, while the BMA took the lead in organizing the collection and storage of donations from the community. These efforts were crucial in helping the family stay afloat while they searched for a new home.


Addressing Immediate Needs


One of the significant challenges the family faced was the need to continue paying rent on their property until the debris from the fire was cleared. Understanding the urgency of the situation, the BMA mobilized volunteers to handle the cleanup. They coordinated the delivery of dumpsters and organized teams to help remove the debris, which allowed the family to focus on rebuilding their lives without the additional financial burden.


BMA's Role in Crisis Management


The BMA has once again demonstrated its vital role in crisis management within the Borrego Springs community. Their extensive network allows them to respond swiftly and effectively when emergencies arise, providing essential support to those in need.


How You Can Support


The BMA's ability to act quickly in times of crisis is made possible by the ongoing support of the community. Donations are critical to ensuring that they can continue to offer this vital assistance when it's needed most.

BMA Late Summer/Early Fall Newsletter Father Michael Plekon, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, president, BMA Since the work of the Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) never takes a vacation, it’s time to tell what we’ve been up to lately. And it’s time as well to ask your help as we always do. You know doing good is never out of season. Just to remind us all, the BMA is the work of all God’s people—Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Baptist, LDS, Jewish, Muslim, doubting, whatever faith you are or aren’t. All of us are “ministers,” not just Pastor Mateo Mamea, Fathers David Madsen, Michael Plekon or Tony Stanonik and other local pastors. Those who regularly meet on Zoom on Tuesdays are a cross section of the Borrego community, from Martha Deichler of the Community Resources Center (CRC) to Diane Johnson and Tammy Baker on the Water Board, Linda Stanley from Soroptimists, and Dale Jones of the American Legion, along with the pastors just named and other members like Pam and Mike McEvoy, George and Carole Thompson, Tery Neal, the Rev. Dr. George Abrams, Shirley Vialpando, and Joyce Merrick, our secretary and interim treasurer. Andrea McKenna is our gifted communications person. We check in with each other every Tuesday, pray for our sisters and brothers in need, go through the pastoral needs submitted since the last meeting, and review our upcoming events and services. Every month the Borrego Ministers Association provides about $4,000 in food coupons for The Desert Pantry and The Center Market. These coupons are distributed on Wednesdays at the Community Resource Center by Diana Fox. Each week, neighbors receive support through the “Let’s Go Borrego” program, operated by the CRC, to help offset medical transportation expenses. Donations also provide modest grants that help ease the burden of staggering utility bills and rent. This year, in coordination with a grant from the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, the BMA is administering a program providing temporary emergency AC units to families whose AC unit has broken down. These are “loaner” units, to be returned when home units are repaired or replaced, all this with the help of the HVAC business in Borrego. Those sisters and brothers who come to us are put in touch with County social workers to explore programs from which they might benefit. Likewise, people asking for help are connected with the food banks that operate every week at the CRC and St. Barnabas Church once a month. Connections to periodic dental and medical screening opportunities are made for our neighbors. The ways in which the BMA tries to assist neighbors is much larger. It can include connection with legal aid when a lawyer’s help is needed. Or consultation with a retired medical professional residing in Borrego. Connection with trained caregivers, with the English classes at the CRC and English as a Second Language (ESL) tutors in town. BMA members have linked neighbors up with special assistance available through The American Legion for vets and Soroptimists for women heading households. It may get tiring, reading all these works of love that the BMA tries to do. But what you cannot see in this newsletter are the smiles, the faces that break into joy when we are able to help with overwhelming costs. Summer is a very tough time for Borregans. The 100+ temperatures are matched by increased utility rates. This comes on top of so many residents being laid off from the hospitality and related businesses till the winter/spring “season” of snowbirds and tourists returns in October. Despite setting aside a reserve fund for summer needs of our neighbors, we at the BMA see our funds depleting as we help sisters and brothers in need. The BMA has no paid employees, minimal operational costs, so virtually all contributions go directly to neighbors in need. Please consider renewing your contribution or making one if you have not. Doing so makes, as the prophet Isaiah says, “the desert burst forth in flowers.” ~Father Michael Plekon, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, president, BMA >> Please consider donating to the BMA
