Over Valentine’s Day weekend Head Cheese Scot Dietz and 3BM employee Renee took a trip south of California to Tijuana to give back to the community.

Joining the Amor Ministries they helped build a new home for a family in need. It only took three days to complete this home for a mother and her three children.
