Awesome night tonight. While Hope for the Holidays, and the Longriders MC made their way to Lorraine's Soup Kitchen & Pantry, Inc. to drop off toys for the kids that Lorraine's help for Christmas. They were met by many of their Brothers in the Western Mass Motorcycle Alliance, bringing food to help with Lorraine's food program. Big Shout out to the Longriders MC, Sons of Mothers MC, Whip City Riders MC & the Renegade Souls MC.👏 Last year Hope for the Holidays helped Lorraine's with toys to help 211 children. This year, Lorraine's is stressed with 480 children to help at Christmas. With that being said, please if your able to help this organization meet their goal, stop by with a non perishable Food donation or new unwrapped Toy for the kiddo's at Christmas. Your stop will make a difference.

Folks, if you were unable to make it out, there's still time to donate to help children at Christmas. You are not paying no salaries at Hope for the Holidays. Your donation goes to those who need it the most. We make sure of that with the organizations we help. Our Officers, and board members are 100% volunteers, and do this for the kids. Your donation goes where it should, and where you want it. We will accept donations all year long, but if you wanna help this year you have til Dec.10th to donate. Please make a donation to help a child at Christmas.

Humanity is alive and kicking. A donation was made in the memory of Acacio Dias from his family. Acacio was a loving family orientated individual with a giant heart and a soft spot for helping others. He was known for being easily the funniest individual in the room, who was always the first one to help anyone in need. A loving individual and supporter of this Toy run that was taken from us too early. We would like to extend our condolences, and appreciation to the Dias family and his loved ones for their heartfelt donation, and know Acacio will ride in our hearts every year, and on our Memory Board.
