Washington Ghanaian Gives 100 Bikes to Kids

Story by Kwabena Opoku Boakye, Washington Ghanaian Church Member

The Washington Ghanaian church in Columbia, Md., recently hosted a free bicycle giveaway for approximately 100 community children and their families. The initiative aimed to promote physical activity among children, while providing a practical mode of transportation to support their daily needs.

The event was made possible through generous donations from community partners and the dedication of church volunteers. A total of 100 bicycles were collected, carefully inspected for safety and refurbished, as needed, to ensure they were ready for use. Children eagerly selected their bicycles with the help of volunteers, who made adjustments to ensure each bike was safe and properly fitted.

The excitement was evident as children took home their new bicycles, and parents expressed deep gratitude for the initiative. One father shares, “This bicycle means so much to my child. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!”

The Washington Ghanaian church leaders extend heartfelt thanks to its donors, community partners and volunteers, whose contributions made this event a success. The church remains committed to outreach efforts and is already planning similar projects to serve its community in meaningful ways.
