On Friday, July 11 between 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 pm., Valparaiso resident, PNC Student and Dayspring Intern, Meagan West hosted a bike drive that will provide homeless or near homelessness women and men with a free bicycle, helmet, and bike lock at Dayspring Women’s Center located at 1005 Campbell Street in Valparaiso, Indiana.
The drive was held from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 pm. at Dayspring.
Meagan was asked how she came to make the decision to conduct a bike drive and she answered, “When I interviewed for my intern position Rachel mentioned doing a bike drive. The concept of providing individuals in the community with bikes instantly caught my attention and I jumped at the chance. I am a big advocate for healthy living and green transportation and I thought this was a great way to promote those while also proving reliable transportation to individuals in need."
