Refugees From Stoughton Resettlement Earn Bikes

Such a great partnership! We love getting our refurbished bikes into the hands of people from around the world. Stoughton Resettlement says, “A giant thank you to Wheels for Winners in Madison for donating bicycles (including a lock and helmet) to 11 of our newest refugees. The volunteers there were so kind as each family selected their bicycles. Many of the individuals who we support come from larger cities where public transportation was the norm. For that reason, some do not have a driver's license or have experience driving. That said, whether they drive or not, bicycles are a wonderful way for them to explore their new community, fulfill needs more efficiently and connect with others. We appreciate this generous donation from #wheelsforwinners and hope you'll consider them the next time you are looking to get rid of a bike.” 

Thanks to Stoughton Resettlement for all you do!

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!
