How We Serve Howard County Families

Three flagship lanes — crisis relief, career skills, and youth & senior care — powered by Hog Fest proceeds, shirt sponsors, and riders who know these streets.

Family crisis relief volunteers
Program 01

Family Stabilization & Crisis Relief

When a diagnosis lands or rent comes due after a job loss, we move fast: grocery cards, utility help, and short-term grants tied to documented need. Motorcycle charity rides and Hog Fest weekends — including the 2026 effort for Emery — feed this fund. We also remember earlier medical fundraisers such as Alana & Jonathon’s cancer battle in 2022.

Schedule: Intake review Mondays & Thursdays; emergency grocery cards can be issued within 48–72 hours when funds allow.

Eligibility: Howard County households facing medical, housing, or food crisis; referral from a rider, pastor, clinic, or self-referral via our contact form.

Career and skills workshop
Program 02

Community Career & Skills Workshops

At the clubhouse and partner tables we host practical sessions: resume clinics, basic digital literacy, interview practice, and introductions to local employers who respect second chances. Riders who rebuilt their own paths sit beside neighbors who just need one clear next step.

Schedule: Second Saturday workshops, 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.; evening resume labs on the first Tuesday of each month.

Eligibility: Adults 18+ seeking work or upskilling; open enrollment — no income test for workshops (crisis grants remain need-based).

Youth and senior outreach
Program 03

Youth & Senior Care Outreach

Hot meal packages prepared with partner kitchens, wellness check-ins for seniors living alone, and weekend outdoor mentoring for youth who need steady adults. After rides, mentors often stay for homework help or simply a safe place to talk.

Schedule: Meal prep Tuesdays; senior check-in routes Wednesdays; youth mentoring Saturdays after scheduled club rides when weather allows.

Eligibility: Howard County seniors referred by family or clinics; youth ages 12–18 with guardian consent for mentoring.

Neighbors Who Felt the Difference

“After the hospital bills stacked up, the grocery cards from the Hog Fest ride meant my kids still had full lunchboxes. Nobody made a speech about us — they just showed up.”

“I walked into the clubhouse nervous and left with a resume that actually got calls. A rider sat with me for two hours on a Saturday. That’s the real Hogrunners way.”

“Tuesday meals and a Wednesday knock on the door keep me connected. I know the logo on those jackets from Washington Street — feels like family.”
