BIKE DRIVE FOR REFUGEES
St. Simon Outreach and Social Justice Council is sponsoring an upcoming bicycle collection to benefit refugees, through Catholic Charities, who have resettled in San Jose. Many refugees are in need of transportation to and from work and would greatly appreciate having a bicycle so they can get around. The bicycle drive will be held at St. Simon January 29th and 30th, 2010. Please donate bicycles, especially adult size, that have been gently used. New bicycles are also welcome and greatly appreciated! Helmets and locks will also be collected. So PLEASE, if you plan on discarding a bicycle, donate instead to the bicycle drive for refugees this coming January! Loving our neighbor has global dimensions in a shrinking world. Right here in our own backyard we have brothers and sisters displaced by the ravages of civil wars and political unrest. Here is an opportunity to touch their lives.
