The main purpose of Riding for a Reason is to help families who are struggling with a serious illness; but we recognize the need for others in our community, as well.
The Visalia, California area, like many others, has a growing population of homeless people and the winter months can be especially difficult for them. Our President, Troy Pope, recognized this need and presented the idea of having a blanket drive to try to help. Everyone in our organization whole-heartedly agreed!
We approached the public asking for donations of blankets and wound up receiving much more than that! Canned food, bottled water, coats and jackets, shoes, clothing, and toiletries were all donated in addition to over 60 blankets! We are constantly amazed by the response we receive when we ask our community for help.
Below are some pictures from the wonderful day we enjoyed while delivering these donations to the homeless. If you think this organization is something you would like to be involved with, please contact us today. We would love to talk to you.
