Revisiting The Gift of a Bike
Revisiting a story about the Bicycle Collective's impact on one family from Eritrea who received Goodwill bikes.

Reposted from the USA for UNHCR website, September 4, 2019

With the refugee crisis that is unfolding in Ukraine as we write this, we have been reflecting on the impact we are able to have when refugees come to the U.S.A. in hopes of building a new life. As recently as fall of 2021, we welcomed recently arrived refugee families from Afghanistan and provided many with bikes. We expect we will be doing the same in the not so distant future for Ukrainian families displaced by the raging war in their home country. We wanted to re-share this video and some images from back in September of 2019. The Gift of a Bike is a reminder of the work that we do here in Utah to help provide vulnerable new members of our community, regardless of where they are from.

"I want to make sure everybody in the Bicycle Collective gets to experience what I did today." --Donna McAleer, Executive Director.
