Make a Difference, Donate a Bike

Bicycles can be one's primary mode of transportation if they are new to the country and don't have a driver's license or a car.
We have more than a dozen male refugee breadwinners for their families on the waitlist now.
As part of MCC's refugee assistance program, we are collecting bicycles for refugee families in need, especially bikes for adults & teens.
Please support these families during this blessed month of Ramadan.
