DOVER – Bikes For Christ is preparing for another busy holiday season.
The need for bicycles becomes even greater around this time of year and Bikes For Christ needs help this Christmas season to continue supporting those less fortunate.
Bikes For Christ partners with over 100 organizations in the Tampa Bay area, providing bicycles as transportation for the clients these agencies serve.
Its main focus is on veterans overcoming hardships, underprivileged children and individuals striving to escape poverty and challenging circumstances.
Each bicycle is accompanied by a copy of the Gospel of John, reflecting the organization’s mission to share Christ’s love and care.
In addition to its ongoing holiday activities, Bikes For Christ has added a few events:
- Ribbon Cutting: Bikes For Christ will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. Nov. 14 to dedicate its new building at 2500 Al Simmons Road. facebook.com/share/17vBkETCq8/
