Bikes For Refugees

A bicycle can be the primary form of transportation when you’re new in the country and don’t yet have a driver’s license or a car.

The SRVIC-MCC Refugee Car team is in need of bikes you may longer be using & volunteers to fix them as well as purchase helmets and locks.

So far, through the grace of God and the generosity of donors, SRVIC-MCC Refugee Support has provided more than 30 bicycles, along with helmets and bike locks, to adult refugees and another 28 to refugee children. These bikes are a primary source of transportation for getting to work, classes, appointments, and shopping, and can also be a form of entertainment for the whole family.

We are currently looking for donations of bikes or funds for their purchase and also individuals able to help transport them. Use this link to join the drive!  https://forms.gle/krXtNEo58ENTt4WS8

Alternately, if you are interested in purchasing bike locks or helmets, you can do so on this Amazon wishlist or at this PayPal donation link.

Questions or to request a bicycle for a refugee client family, please message us at refugee@mcceastbay.org
