“Here we live near the ocean and yet we have no place in Morro Bay to teach our children how to swim.”
– Rick Grantham, Morro Bay City Councilmember, November 10, 2008

Support Foundation Projects and Initiatives at No Cost to You

You can support the Community Aquatics Center project and local community aquatics programs (at Cuesta, Hardie and Shamel Pools) when you shop at your neighborhood Spencer's grocery store.

We participate in the Spencer's Fresh Markets eScrip Community Card program.

Spencer's will automatically donate a portion of your monthly spending at no cost to you.

Ask for a Spencer's Fresh Markets eScrip Community Card at checkout (if you don't already have one), then, call the number on the card and designate the Morro Bay Community Pool Foundation as the recipient organization.

If you know of other similar programs, please let us know. We will be registering for the Scolari's Friendship Fund and Ralph's Community Contribution Program shortly. Please check back here for updates.

Albertson's has discontinued their Community Partners Program.
