Bike and Build Supports Habitat for Humanity IWV

Bike & Build is a national non-profit organization that works to provide affordable housing and empowers young adults for a lifetime of service and civic engagement. Each year a group of participants bikes across the country, making stops in many cities and towns where they temporarily trade their bikes for hammers and work on the construction of an affordable home with a local housing organization. Thirty one members of the group stopped in Ridgecrest on July 27 and helped with local Habitat for Humanity of the IWV affordable housing projects. In the pictures, the Bike and Build members are shown helping to clean up the local Habitat for Humanity storage lot on Robertson Avenue. Later in the day they stopped at the Boys' and Girls' Club of Ridgecrest.

Crossroads Church sponsored the 31 Bike and Ride cyclists on July 26 through 28, 2011. This included food and housing.
