Our 5th annual bike giveaway is now complete. Due to your efforts we donated 70 bikes to Christian Help for the toy drive. An additional 5 new bikes were dropped off by other donors for a total of 75. At the end of the day we only had to bring back 15 of them, meaning that 60 were given away, about the same as last year. However, most of the leftovers were in sizes we had too many of. Next year we need more 24 and 26" mountain bikes. The surplus bikes (mostly 16 and 20") are available to other charity programs. If you know a family that needs a bike for a small child please stop in. We can help you out.
Thanks to volunteers from: WVU Tau Beta Pi, WVU Mortar Board, WVU Industrial Engineering students, Our regular volunteers, People who heard about what we're doing and just pitched in and anyone I may have missed.
Thanks also to Christian Help for getting us involved (our 5th year!) and particularly to Cheryl Stout whose divine efforts make it possible for families in need to have their needs met with joy and dignity.
