Bicycles Around the World
Refurbishing bicycles for people in need has always been an important part of our work at Mid-Atlantic Branch. In the six years since we began tracking this ministry, 480 have been sent overseas or donated locally. In September 2024, the 500th bike was repaired for shipping! Bike donors are gratified that their new owners value them as a means of transport as well as for simple enjoyment. We hope to continue this mission long into the future.
