A Farmer’s Creativity

As I, Alice, was enjoying some luscious and juicy fresh Michigan sweet corn I was reminded of how a Pennsylvania Farmer’s creativity impacted His Wheels last summer. This farmer grew sweet corn and made it available for those in his church. You could take as much as you needed. The payment he asked was that each person donate the amount of money they felt was reasonable for the corn to another organization. I don’t know if it was limited to organizations but I do know that HWI was the organization one person chose to make the beneficiary of this farmer’s creative generosity.

Refining Our Focus

After 8 years of distributing over 1,700 two-wheeled bicycles we are ending that aspect of our ministry so we can focus our undivided attention on our hand-pedaled trikes. The initial bicycle goal Alice set was 100 in her lifetime. We have finished that aspect of the ministry well.

Finished the 2-wheeled ministry well

Today after 8 years of working with 2-wheeled  bicycles we are ending the bicycle division of our ministry. We are narrowing our focus so we can concentrate on our hand-pedaled three-wheelers we affectionately call trikes.

The first pickup today was from World Relief. They picked up the last 6 adult bikes. We have partnered with World Relief since 2006 and have provided over 600 bikes to refugees and immigrants in DuPage County.
