For the last couple of years, men have donated their time on an ongoing basis to repairing and renovating bicycles donated to A New Leaf’s East Valley Men’s Shelter. Old or damaged bikes are refurbished so that residents at the shelter can use them as transportation to and from their jobs as they work through the shelter’s program. Other bikes are donated to families in the New Leaf county-wide system shelters, providing bicycles to children and women who are working through programs similar to the men at EVMS. This volunteer effort has continued to grow and new opportunities are on the horizon. We are currently working to establish a Roundtable/Bible Study for the shelter’s residents to help them develop healthy life skills and attitudes based on the wisdom of the scriptures as well as sharing Christ’s love and gospel message. We also hope to expand the repair ministry to provide bikes through the shelter to local law enforcement as an outreach to the community.

If you are interested in helping with repairs or can help with the Roundtable/Bible Study, please contact Dusty Riggs.
