Refugee, Immigration, and Human Trafficking Committee Bike Drive

Bike Collection for Refugees 2024 Report

🫶 Thank you to everyone who donated bicycles and time at our bike collection! Our efforts with our partners at Wheels to Work 716 resulted in gathering over 150 bikes; 43 were immediately repaired and sent out to the community served by Catholic Charities and Our Lady of Hope parish. The remaining bikes will be repaired and distributed soon to newly arrived immigrants and refugees. Every bike provides much needed transportation to work, school, grocery stores and clinics as well as much needed recreation.
🙌❤️ To date our community has gathered and distributed over 1200 bikes to our newest neighbors! 🚲🚲
