Executive Director: Martha Deichler
"The seed for the Borrego Springs Community Resource Center was planted at the onset of COVID when our locals lost employment and were in need of food. The Fredericks’/Wermers’ Food Bank and the High School’s Food Bank came together under the roof of the former library in the Mall and began holding a much needed weekly food distribution with donations from Feeding San Diego and the San Diego Food Bank."
