Community effort donates bikes for homeless

Ten bicycles, helmets, locks and bike lights were donated to the Inter-Faith Council men’s homeless shelter in downtown Chapel Hill on Friday, Feb. 6 as the result of a community-wide effort to provide safe and reliable transportation for homeless men living at the shelter. The Employment Initiatives Work Group, a committee of the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness, initiated the effort. The ReCYCLEry donated ten bikes and Performance Bicycle donated all of the biking accessories and two bicycle racks. This grassroots community effort has been a great show of what our community can accomplish to fill a need.
