Cyclists from across the country came pedaling through Utah County this past week to help us build on our current twin home project in Orem. This annual cross-country trek raises funds and awareness to end poverty housing in our nation, with 30+ young adults logging over 4000 miles between South Carolina and California. Check out the the You Tube Video of the bikers building locally at www.youtube.com/watch?v=
The volunteer cyclists stayed at the Provo Seventh Day Church while in town and enjoyed a yummy spaghetti dinner prepared by two of Habitat's partner mom's - April Crossley and Ryann Gardner. They also had meals provided by Wendy's and Outback Steakhouse.
In return for their wonderful service, our affiliate donated a portion of this week's ReStore profits to the Christina Clarke Genco Safe Biking Fund. Clarke Genco, one of the trip leaders for the ride, was tragically killed in rural Alabama in June while riding with the group.
