We've been planning on doing this cross country bike ride for a while and really thought we could use it to give back to the community. We did some research and came across Dorothy's place. They take in and feed any of the 6400 homeless people in Monterey County, many of whom have disabilities or mental illnesses which keep them out of the workforce. In addition to this, they also serve as a crisis center for battered women and children.
If you guys want to make a contribution to our trip, there is a link below. we are deferring all donations to Dorothy's place in hopes that our friends and family can pull together and do something awesome.
thanks!
