On Sunday, cyclists will have an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful Hill Country ride with an even greater purpose as Camp Lucy opens their gates again for a “wish list” benefit for Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center (HCWC). Participating riders will enjoy a supported ride with snacks, maps, water stops, ride leaders, and more, all in exchange for a non-perishable food item or any of the following needs on the HCWC wish list: socks for all ages and genders, baby wipes and diapers (sizes 3, 4, and5), and HEB gift cards. HCWC provides a safe haven for families recovering from abusive relationships, and these donated items will go directly to women, children and men who had the courage to leave abusive homes.
