Wheels Provides Bikes to Recent Refugees

Wheels for Winners provided bikes to 3 generations of bike earners from Syria and 3 earners from Tanzania thanks to our partnership with Open Doors for Refugees. Open Doors says, “We support new and recent arrivals in a variety of ways, largely through a network of volunteer teams. Most notably, our Donations and Move-In teams collect donations of furniture and household items and use them to furnish and stock apartments for arriving refugees. We also have teams that provide Translation, Transportation, ESL, and Employment services.”

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.

Thanks to Open Doors for Refugees for all you do!
