April 2 was National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, and the Mesquite Ambucs donated $1,000 to Sharing Life Community Outreach to kick off the City of Mesquite's Spread the Love Program. Mesquite's Spread the Love Program feeds children from food insecure homes during the summer while school is out. The program runs every April through August, and donations are accepted by both the City and Sharing Life.
A dozen Mesquite Ambucs braved the Texas heat on June 25 & 26, 2021 to construct a 36' switch-back barrier-free ramp for a recently diasbled homeowner in neighboring Seagoville. The homeowner lost part of his right leg and was being discharged from a rehab facility on June 30th. The home is two feet above the surrounding ground and acessed by wooden stairs. The new ramp made the home wheel chair accessible.
