Clackamas Sheriff Donates Property Room Bikes to At-Risk Children
Thursday, October 22, 2015
The bikes were repaired and refurbished by juvenile offenders as part of their service, under the direction of Gary Hines of Love Inc. They will be donated to local children between the ages of 8 and 16 who have at least one incarcerated parent.
"This donation is a win-win for everyone involved," said Sheriff Craig Roberts. "Juvenile offenders who are working to put their lives back together have an opportunity to help others through their work on the bikes. And kids who might not have the opportunity to have a bike like this now do because of this program."
A Clackmas County grant serving vulnerable populations provided Love Inc. with the funds needed to host and organize the program.
The bikes will be presented and donated at a ceremony held today at 4:30 PM at Chapin Park in Oregon City. Each child will also receive a helmet to go along with their bicycle.
