Motorcycle clubs get together and “go on a run” led by a truck load of infant supplies including diapers that are collected as an entry fee for Hale House.

The organization is named after “Mother” Clara Hale, a pioneer in African-American self-help efforts, especially those directed toward children. It offers affordable childcare and educational programs to vulnerable residents in Harlem.

Afterwards there was a big block party with Italian ices, free foods, and even a water slide for the kids. It was a sight to see.
