KGET Community

Covenant Community Services is holding a motorcycle ride to benefit programs that serve Kern County’s abused and neglected children.  The Covenant Ride for Hope is being held on May 3^rd, 2008.  This is a pledge drive and a minimum pledge of $30 per rider and $15 per passenger is required to participate.  The Covenant Ride for Hope is a complete motorcycle event.  It will consist of not only a poker run, but a blessing of the bikes, bike show, BBQ lunch, live music, and raffle prizes!  Plus every rider who participates will receive a Covenant Ride for Hope Ride Pin, and those riders who raise more will receive additional prizes including: bandanas, T-shirts, hats, and jackets. 

The programs that will benefit from the Covenant Ride for Hope are: Kern County’s Royal Family Kids’ Camp, Covenant Mentoring and Covenant CARENET.  Royal Family Kids’ Camp is a camp dedicated to providing children in foster care with a week of summer camp where they are treated like royalty.  Each child attends camp completely free and will receive a week of camp full of numerous exciting activities such as horseback riding, a talent show, swimming and much more.  Covenant Mentoring matches a child/youth in foster care with a safe and caring adult who can guide them through tough situations with patience and love.  Covenant CARENET provides household necessities to families receiving their children back into the home.  Many families have completed court mandated tasks, in an effort to get their children back, but oftentimes, they don’t have the resources to purchase beds, dressers and other necessities.  Because these families have come so far and risk losing custody of their children, Covenant CARENET procures donations from the community to purchase the items these families need for a successful transition.
