Bikes for the World
Oakdale Church (3425 Emory Church Rd)
Donated bikes will be prepared to ship to a specific village in Sierra Leone. This village suffered tremendous losses from an Ebola outbreak right before COVID hit. This orphaned many children who are now teens and young adults. They want to work but cannot get a job without transportation. Your donated bike will make a HUGE difference in the lives of these young people who have lost so much. In addition to donated bikes, cash donations are needed in order to pay the $7,000 for shipping the container to them. Click here to make a donation. Once you are on that page, make a one time donation to "Missions - Specific" and indicate in the Note that this is for "Bikes for the World". Thank you.
