Good evening,
On Tuesday the Marines showed up to take all of the bikes we'd fixed up for Christian Help to the Armory for their Christmas Store. Reps from 2 other programs also showed up. This week we've donated about 30 bikes (so far) to local agencies that will be distributing them to needy families in the area. We expect to provide more this Saturday. We've also been collecting more bikes and we have a good start on the 100 we'd like to send to the Gulf Coast next month (50 so far) .
We got some great things given to us this week as well.
A cash donation of $230 from the North Morgantown Rotary Club to help our efforts.
Six brand new helmets from the Community Health program at Ruby Hospital
A contact at Ruby Hospital who can help us get more helmets.
We're planning on holding a big event in January (tentatively Sat 1/14) to fit the kids on their new Christmas bikes and helmets. We'll also be collecting and fixing more Katrina bikes and this may be kind of an open house for the general public.
