June 16 Distribution Brings Relief—and Groceries—to Borrego Springs
On June 16, the
St. Barnabas Food Bank held its first indoor summer distribution at the
Borrego Springs Community Resource Center, offering a cooler, more comfortable environment for both volunteers and recipients. With temperatures rising across the desert, the move from the church parking lot to the CRC made the process easier and safer for everyone.
Inside, tables were filled with canned goods, fresh grapes, frozen chicken, and pantry staples. Volunteers welcomed each resident with a smile, scanned their check-in cards, and helped them gather the food they needed.
Volunteer Diane Johnson made a point to hold boxes aside for those who couldn’t arrive during the regular window—particularly resort and golf course workers who often finish their shifts around 2:00 PM. Thanks to this kind of planning, even those with early morning jobs don’t miss out.
The food bank, operated in partnership with the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, continues to serve the community on the third Monday of each month.
Next distribution: Monday, July 21
Time: 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Location: Borrego Springs Community Resource Center, 587 Palm Canyon Dr #125
