Happy holidays to all of our readers, right out of the gate & first on the New Years agenda for Utah BMX.com is something I've wanted to do for awhile so I'm doing it this weekend.

I am doing a donation (shirts, jackets, coats, shoes, socks, blankets, ect) drive for "The Road Home" (homeless shelter) in downtown SLC for this Saturday. Here is a link for a donations list.

https://www.theroadhome.org/pdfs/Needs%20List1.pdf

Iv'e had some down time with work so a few weeks ago I emptied out our closets & shed of clothes & blankets that we never wear or use anymore. I asked two of my buds if they had anything & guess what, I gathered 8 big leaf bags of stuff, 8! I then drove down to the Road Home & dropped it off, it was quick & very easy.

So, I ask our faithfull viewers here over the next few days, take a look at that list/link & even if it's a few items or even one, put it in a bag & drop it off at the GT tent tent this Saturday. It's that simple. I will then take it down to the Road Home on Monday.
I had a rule for myself that if I hadn't worn it for at least 6 months it was fair game to donate. I even parted with a $300 snow board jacket I hadn't worn in years.

Thanks!
Bruce

I just wanted to add that all these items are given to the needy for free & not resold. That's why I chose to support this charity.

*BUMP*

It's come to my attention that Rad Canyon is doing another Road Home & Utah Food Bank donation drive this upcoming weekend.

We did this back a few years ago & had a HUGE donation. Please read over the previous posts & figure out what you can donate.

If I remember correctly I loaded up the back of my full size SUV TWICE!
