Join Soul to Soul Outreach in etching identifying serial numbers onto bicycles belonging to our neighbors experiencing homelessness and poverty. This project will allow our neighbors to keep their property and, in the unfortunate situation when their bike is stolen, they can retrieve their belongings. This will lead to less theft because now the belongings can be identified. Our neighbors will have more reliable transportation to their places of employment.
Volunteers will take pictures of our neighbors with their bikes and serial numbers to have a record of their property. One volunteer will create a file of neighbor and bike serial number, while another will etch the bikes with their assigned number. They might also man a sign-up table for bike repair classes through a local volunteer.
