Recently we were contacted by Erica Hesselson from Kutztown, PA regarding Brake the Cycle. she has organized a fund-raiser bike ride to benefit her non-profit, community service organization in Kutztown called Friend, inc.
Friend, Inc. is a muilti-service social agency that supports the well- being of those in need and is committed to strengthening the lives of families and individuals living in Northeastern Berks County PA.
They provide a food pantry, case management, budget counseling, parenting support groups, and financial crisis intervention.
Erica was on the interent searching poverty related subjects and came upon our Brake the Cycle website to her surprise. She immediately reached out and invited us to join them for this poverty event.
Well, a few of us have taken her up on the invitation and will be heading to Kutztown to ride in solidarity to their cause, the benefit of Friend, Inc. and we are hopeful of developing an ongoing relationship in the fight against poverty in the United States and our respective states.
Watch for our journal next week.
