Wheels for Winners (W4W) cares about the environment! In 2023 we refurbished and gave out 490 bikes resulting in a carbon footprint savings of 56,840kg CO2e.
Based on U.S. EPA calculations we saved the equivalent of:
3.5 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for a year off the road or
145,372 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle or
The carbon sequestered by 940 tree seedlingsgrown for 10 years!
Bikes help recent refugees get around town, to work, run errands, get to know their new neighborhoods with their children and get acclimated to their new life here in Dane County. We work with Jewish Social Services Refugee and Immigration Services and their partners Stoughton Resettlement and Open Doors for Refugees.
