Just getting started

Step two - set up blog. This followed step one - which was to create the Facebook page. Apparently I can import a blog to my Facebook page. This would be step three. In the meantime, I will just repeat what I posted on Facebook.

Dropped off 5 bikes to Westside Homeless Partnership today.
1) Men's Diamondback MTB/Hybrid (from Kamal A.)
2) Women's RoadMaster MTB (from Jon G.)
3) Youth Huffy MTB (from Jay B.)
4) Boy's Ozone BMX (from Kamal A.)
5) Girl's Starter BMX (from Kamal A.)

The repairs included new pedals, grips, seats, painting sometimes, tune up, and lube.

This is the outcome of a calling that I had when I received an email from Memorial Drive Christian Church about Westside Homeless Partnership needing four used boys bikes for Christmas. I had one in the garage that I could fix up. But I needed more. I put out a call to my friends and neighbors. The response was overwhelming! I got commitments for 10 bikes the first week.Of course my garage will not hold that many - so I have to do a little at a time. More to come!

Watch for unwanted bikes and email me at chainreactionministries@gmail.com if you have one.

Pay it Forward,
David
