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.

Volunteer-Run Community Park Christmas Circle Community Park sits at the center of Borrego Springs and remains one of the most recognized public spaces in the area. The park was established in the early 1950s when the DiGiorgio family donated the land in honor of Alphonse A. Burnand, tying the space directly to the early development of Borrego Springs. A Park Run by Volunteers Today, the park is managed by a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization led by a volunteer board of directors. The organization is supported through grants and donations from both residents and visitors who use the park. Jeff Sloan, president of the board, said, “There’s a group of people who really love the park and they put their effort into making it a wonderful place to visit.” What It Takes to Maintain the Park Maintaining Christmas Circle is an ongoing responsibility. The board oversees landscaping, lawn care, tree trimming, and water management to keep the grass maintained throughout the year. The park also provides regularly cleaned public restrooms, requiring daily attention and consistent upkeep.
