As we all know, there are many people in need, especially around the holidays. In fact, it seems like the holidays are when people need others the most. There’s one group in Warren that are doing their part to help out their community.
The Midnight Rydaz are a group of individuals that get together to go on trail rides. They enjoy getting out on the trails and being in the outdoors. But this year, they are getting to do something new. They knew they wanted to help out their community and they decided that Thanksgiving was a great time to start.
“We wanted to do something for the community,” said Micki Charles, C.E.O of the Midnight Rydaz. “So we all decided to chip in and we picked out three families in need. They’re going to get a ham, dressing, macaroni and cheese, green beans, cake, and a pie.”
When I went to the location where they were putting together the meals for the families, the atmosphere was joyful and it smelled fantastic! Friends were talking and laughing. Kids were running around having a good time. To me, it seems like a family reunion. Everyone had a smile on their face and they all were very welcoming. It seemed like a place where you would stay long after the food was gone and catch up.
But riding trails isn’t the only reason that they all like to get together. There’s more on their minds.
“We’re trying to do more to help the community,” said Angela Momon, group treasurer. “It’s not just about going out and doing a lot of riding. We want to come together and do community events.”
While their Thanksgiving event was their first, The Midnight Rydaz plan on doing more community events in the future.
“We want to do bar-b-cues and picnics,” said Momon. “This is what we love to do.”
The Midnight Rydaz are a perfect example of how communities can get together and help out those that need it. They want to make Warren better and they’re on the right track. I can’t wait to see what they do in the future!
