Borrego Springs Resource Center: Serving the Community

October 3, 2024

Investing in Community Spaces


The Borrego Springs Resource Center continues to invest in creating a safe and welcoming environment for residents and volunteers. Facility improvements include new flooring throughout the building, the installation of a sink with hot water, and the addition of new storage cabinets. These updates ensure the Resource Center remains a clean, efficient, and supportive space for community services.



Expanding Food Bank Services


To better serve the nutritional needs of Borrego Springs residents, the Resource Center has upgraded its Food Bank operations with the addition of a new commercial reach-in refrigerator. This enhancement allows for safe storage of fresh and perishable foods, increasing the variety and quality of items available during food distributions.


Transportation Support: Let’s Go Borrego


Recognizing the transportation challenges faced by elderly, disabled, and low-income residents, the Resource Center operates Let’s Go Borrego — a mileage reimbursement program. This service helps residents access healthcare, shopping, and essential appointments by offering financial support for transportation costs.


Developing Caregiver Support Services


The Resource Center is working to introduce a short-term daycare program specifically designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. This initiative will offer caregivers much-needed respite while providing a safe and supportive environment for their loved ones.



Planning for a Resilient Future


The Borrego Valley Stewardship Council, a program supported by the Resource Center, is focused on long-term community and environmental planning. The Council’s white paper on Environmental and Community Resiliency gathers community input and outlines strategies to strengthen Borrego Springs for future generations.



The Borrego Springs Resource Center remains committed to supporting the health, connection, and resilience of the community — now and into the future.

Pop-Up Dental Screenings Offered at CRC

May 15, 2025
On Tuesday, May 14, the Borrego Springs Community Resource Center hosted a one-day pop-up dental clinic in partnership with DAP Health. From 1 to 5 p.m., residents of all ages were invited to stop by The Mall on Palm Canyon Drive, where DAP Health’s Mobile Dental Unit was stationed outside the CRC. Dental professionals from DAP provided free screenings and shared information about oral health and available services. The mobile clinic made it possible for residents to access preventative care without leaving town—especially important in a rural area like Borrego Springs. DAP Health has been steadily expanding services in our region, building on its integration with Borrego Health. Today, local offerings include primary care, pediatrics, women’s health, mental health, and dentistry, along with tools like the MyChart patient portal and continued support for the Borrego Springs Pharmacy. The CRC is proud to support community health by making space for events like this. As always, we remain committed to helping residents connect with food assistance, transportation support, and healthcare access—right here in the heart of Borrego Springs.
