Motorcycle clubs come together to help hurricane victims in Texas and Florida

Motorcycle clubs come together to help hurricane victims in Texas and Florida

The hurricane that hit the US was indeed tragic and we sincerely hoped things would be better as soon as it subsided. After the truck was missing to take the goods that had been collected for hurricane victims in Texas and Florida, the donations were instead given out to Coordinated Assistance Ministries (CAM), Serena House, Kokomo Rescue Mission and Birth Right.

“As things go, people got behind the ball, and I got stuck with a whole 24-foot enclosed trailer full of stuff,” said Michael “Hoss” Hough, state commander of the U.S. Defenders program and Confederation of Clubs.

“So we had a board meeting and decided we’d pick some organizations and distribute it out in our communities.”

Hough also invited 48 motorcycle clubs to participate in the cause. Seven clubs donated hygiene products and shower items, food and water and anything to make the victims will comfortable and at ease. The seven clubs were Milwaukee Iron, Hog Runners, Mongols, Warriors of Children, Eagle Riders, Corrupted Souls, and Swords Brotherhood.

“It’s really important to help out. When we missed the truck, I called the board meeting and said, ‘Let’s help our own communities because it’s getting right here with the holidays, and a lot of people need help.”

Despite this, they were short of hygiene products.

“I’ve been working at CAM for almost two years, and it’s the first time I can remember we have to tell people we don’t have hygiene items. It’s heartbreaking for me to go up there and to tell them we don’t have stuff,” said Brocks.

“It means a lot, especially at this time of the year,” he said. “For the public, just to have these things when they come in means a lot. For us to tell them we don’t have shampoo or soap today, it breaks our hearts because we know these people need these things. To have them to give to these people makes us feel great. That’s our job. That’s what we’re there for. We’re there to aid and assist as much as we can, and to have these items will put a huge smile on everyone’s faces.”

Indeed, it is great to be able to put a smile on people’s face, especially when they are in need.

“Us motorcycle guys aren’t all bad,” said Allan Rush of Milwaukee Iron.
