Share

Support for Residents from the Borrego Ministers Association

If you or someone you know in Borrego Springs needs help with food, the Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) offers a simple and respectful way to get support. Each week, the BMA distributes $25 food coupons through the Community Resource Center (CRC) to help residents facing food insecurity.


This community-led program empowers people to buy what they need—while also supporting local grocery stores.


How the Food Coupons Work


Every Wednesday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, residents can stop by the Community Resource Center to receive a $25 coupon, which functions like store credit at participating local businesses.


The process is quick and private. Coupons can be used on groceries and essential items (excluding alcohol, tobacco, and lottery tickets), giving individuals and families the dignity of choice.

Cindie Horn – Textile Artist & Slow Fashion Creator Meet one of the makers featured at Desert Lovers & Co.

Each piece reflects her eye for detail and her interest in experimenting with textures, patterns, and new techniques. Cindie enjoys challenging herself creatively and exploring fresh ideas through fabric. Her belief that handmade items add comfort, character, and warmth to everyday life comes through clearly in her designs.

Update on New Welcome Signs

November 25, 2025
Happy Thanksgiving! The Borrego Springs Welcome Sign committee is grateful to the many individuals and businesses who have supported efforts to construct the first new “Welcome to Borrego Springs” sign since the 1970’s. Because of their support, we have raised almost $29,000. Donations have ranged from $10 - $5,000 and we are thankful for every single dollar. Apparently costs to construct and install the signs have gone up significantly in the last year and a half. Therefore, when we thought we had almost reached our fundraising goal, we were told we might need as much as 50% more. The Borrego Village Association has got to work looking at alternative vendors, we are currently requesting estimates, and still hoping to get the job done for closer to the original estimate. If you pledged funds, that pledge will likely be requested in December or January. If you donated cash, please know that it is safely in an account earmarked for the welcome sign. If you haven’t donated yet, PLEASE DO! More funding is certainly needed and appreciated, especially as we have two more signs to construct after this one. To donate: The Borrego Village Association, a 501c(6) c, nonprofit organization, is leading the fundraising. Contributions checks can be made out to the Borrego Village Association and sent to Borrego Village Association. P.O. Box 1133, Borrego Springs, CA 92004. Donations can also be made via PayPal found on our website at BorregoVillageAssociation.org, or made via Zelle transfer. Pledges can be made using the form below. If you have any questions or require further information, email BorregoVillage@gmail.com Happy holidays and with many thanks to those who have - or will - donate, The Welcome Sign Committee - Jim Dion, Bruce Durbin, Nancy McRae, Alicia Wszelaki  -- James Dion Executive Director Borrego Village Association Learn More About Borrego Springs
