After cycling up a massive hill from where we were staying last night we whizzed into town and met Jim, Debbie, Sharron, Carl and the rest of the hard working crew at the Salvation Army here.  We spent the better part of the day working in the food bank packaging up bags ready to go.  It's great to see they've got so much good quality food to include in their generous food parcels.  After we had stocked that up we spent a couple of hours dusting and cleaning shelves in the Thrift Store across the street.  Once again, all and all a good day's work!

    Volunteer work with the Salvation Army

    Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through. 

    When we hit a town that has Salvation Army services, we offer our hands-on help for a day or two in the hope of encouraging the regular volunteers and also providing some relief in the volume of work that is demanded of them.

    We chose the Salvation Army because they are well respected, give practical help to those that are in need and they are also situated throughout Pan-America.

    We feel very priviledged to be associated with this hardworking organisation.   We hope that the work we do (albeit small) will be of some worth and also raise awareness of all the good work the Salvation Army does for others.
