Bikes for Stripes MHVI Volunteer Opportunity

For the past three Rotary years the “Bikes for Stripes” program of the Milwaukee Homeless Verterans Initiative (MHVI) has received a Mini-Grant from the Elmbrook Rotary Club Foundation.

On Friday, June 14, 2024 (Flag Day), MHVI will sponsor a “Bikes for Stripes Summer Resource Fair” on the site of the West Allis Farmers Market (6501 W National Ave). Some 14 different partnering organizations will be onsite to offer free resources to veterans.  The event is scheduled for the hours of 11:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m. Please see the attached publicity flyer.

Ms. Debbie Buchanan, Exec. Dir. of MHVI, has shared that they will need help with the following duties:

I plan to be present during the entire event, both to assist and to coordinate volunteers from Elmbrook Rotary Club. If you are available to assist on that day for any period of time, please send me an email (lwmyers2@att.net OR myerlslw2@gmail.com), give me a call (414-915-3040), or speak to me at a club meeting. I will need to know the times you are available and the duties you prefer.

I realize that this event follows on the heels of our Elmbrook Family Fest. However, it provides another opportunity for service. And, because the event is four weeks from this Friday and two weeks after our own event, I am confident that some ERC members will want to assist. Please remember that veterans issues were ranked high in our club's updated strategic planning.
