WORKERS WITHOUT WHEELS | CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF PATCHOGUE

We continue to receive donated bikes in good working order as well as money to purchase parts. We started a new program in which we took seven disadvantaged people and trained them as bicycle mechanics. We gave them a new bike to assemble; a used bike to repair; a set of tools; training by a professional bike mechanic; and an hourly honorarium of $10 per hour for the training. And then we gave away another 100 bikes.
