Baja Mexico Ride - Service Project

This year Ashley and I went down with the guys to the starting point in San Felipe. We enjoyed a beautiful hotel on the beach. Sunday we went to church in their branch, then we had a service project. All the riders bring bags and bags and bags of clothes and other donations. We met in the parking lot of the hotel and sorted everything by size. Then everyone takes a large garbage sack and takes an item from each pile. All the sacks are loaded into a trailer. Ashley and I were in charge of all of the baby clothes. Another truckload of people had candy to pass out and some sports equipment.

The service project is in the Los Arcos area of town.

Several of the riders buy groceries at the store for some families. 350 bags of clothes were passed out, as well as over 150 baby clothes bags. It's a terrific service project and I know the residents look forward to this every year. After the service project, Ashley and I drove back to the States. I'm not gonna lie, I was very nervous about driving 120 miles up to the border, but it was fine. It's a definate do-again.
