The Rescue Mission has long been one of the organizations BAH supports. Check out the Rescue Mission's website to learn how they help turn lives around and really help people get back on their feet! 

The Press of Atlantic City recently published an article on a Special Project at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission that should inspire us all. Chefs from Atlantic City, along with their assistants, volunteer for a couple of hours every Thursday at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission to make about 600 bowls of soup for those who are staying at the mission or other homeless people. According to the article, the program, called "50,000 Bowls for the Hearts and Souls," gives the homeless community "heart-healthy" food options.

The chefs in Atlantic City should be an inspiration to us to use what we have and what we can offer to help those in need.
What talents or special skills do you have that you can use to benefit those who need a hand?  

We're excited to have the new website up and running, in time to welcome even more riders to the 2016 annual BAH ride. Please let us know what you think of the site!
Many exciting changes are up for consideration on the BAH front. We're planning on marketing more and welcoming even more riders. Help us grow the BAH family by liking us on Facebook and Instagram, and spreading the word about BAH!
