Master Lock distributed bike locks at "Bikes
for Stripes Summer Resource Fair" to help those in need
MILWAUKEE, July 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Master Lock, the industry leader in padlocks and
security products, donated bike locks to the Milwaukee Homeless
Veterans Initiative (MHVI) as part of its "Bikes for Stripes"
program. The initiative is a joint venture of MHVI, Elmbrook Rotary
Foundation and Milwaukee County Veterans Service Office to promote
the health and mobility of Milwaukee
County veterans by offering free, donated bicycles, helmets
and locks to homeless veterans, who often have no other form of
transportation.
The Bikes for Stripes Summer Resource Fair took place on Flag
Day, June 14, where MHVI supplied
veterans and their children with bicycles, accessories and
resources. Master Lock donated 225 bike locks, giving veterans and
their families a form of protection and security for their new
property.
"The Master Lock Company is proud to work with MHVI to support
local veterans in the Milwaukee
community," said Jason Williams,
president, Master Lock. "Having their own form of transportation
empowers veterans to regain their independence and mobility.
Providing secure bike locks is a small but important step in
ensuring they can move freely and safely throughout their daily
lives."
"Master Lock's generous donation of bike locks makes a big
impact for our program," said Debbie
Buchanan, executive director, MHVI. "Ensuring the safety and
security of the bikes we provide is paramount, and with Master
Lock's support, we can offer our veterans peace of mind as they
navigate their daily lives."
