A community collaboration with Safe Kids, Frederick Bicycle Coalition, I Believe in Me, Inc. and Maryland Department of Transportation to ensure that kids are staying safe while bicycling this summer.
It takes a village to support the these kids, so through partnerships we are going to do all that we can to provide a quality experience for all youth in our community. FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB) April 26, 2021 On Monday, April 26 at 2:00 pm at the Frederick Towne Mall parking lot (next to Tire World), Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County’s new “Club on the Go” program is partnering with community organizations to distribute free, custom fitted bike helmets to youth in the community.
United by their desire to serve the community, several organizations came together to donate food, coats and health services to hundreds of families on Saturday at Lincoln Elementary School.
Local residents came through the school parking lot in drive-thru fashion. Eyes smiling above their masks, volunteers leaned toward each vehicleâs open window to ask the driver how they could help. A volunteer jotted information on a piece of paper and slid it under windshield wipers. Teachers waved to children in the backseat and offered books from the Judy Center and Frederick County Literacy Chapter.
Following rainbow colored traffic cones, each carâs stop through the parking lot offered families something new â boxes of food, coats in every color and size, flu shots and COVID-19 tests. An hour-and-a-half into the event, the table that was once stacked high with food largely from Frederick Rescue Mission had diminished to a few items.
