Colorado Homeless Families

• Christmas 2008
• 100 bikes for 100 children!

2
100 bikes given away to 100 children on a cold
Saturday afternoon in December donated by Waste
Management Employees.

• Children and parents waited with excitement and
  anticipation as 100 bikes were unloaded from
  Waste Management trucks. The company gathered
  contributions from their employees buy brand new
  bikes for the children at CHF. The childrens
  faces were all smiles when the truck pulled up to
  CHF. Connie Zimmerman, CHFs Executive Director,
  helped to organize and make sure that every
  eligible child received their brand new bike.

• Families that are homeless do not have the money
  to spend on new bicycles. So it was quite a
  treat for these children to receive a brand new
  bike. As you will see the children were all
  smiles and waited very patiently as the bikes
  were handed out
