St. Barnabas Borrego Springs Brings Relief

Emergency Air-Conditioning Program

St. Barnabas Episcopal Church & Borrego Ministers Association



When desert temperatures soar in Borrego Springs, heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous. Recognizing this urgent need, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, in cooperation with the Borrego Ministers Association, launched the Emergency Air-Conditioning Program to protect vulnerable residents from life-threatening heat.


Funded by a Courageous Love Grant from the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, the program partners with a local HVAC company to deliver, install, and track portable air-conditioning units in homes facing cooling emergencies. Units are loaned temporarily until a permanent repair or replacement can be arranged, ensuring no one is left without relief during critical heat events.


This collaboration reflects Borrego’s deep community care—neighbors working together to keep everyone safe when the desert heat strikes.
