Fr. Kevin with the bikes collected for the Huron Hispanic & Migrant Farmoworkers Outreach Ministry
On Wednesday, June 28, two trucks full of bicycles arrived at Trinity Simcoe.
The collection and transportation of the donated bicycles was organised by Fr. Kevin George from St. Aidan's Parish in London. The bicycles were collected for the Huron Hispanic & Migrant Farmworkers Outreach Ministry.
Forty bikes were taken to Tillsonburg and the remaining bicycles were stored in the church at Simcoe.
On Thursday (June 29) and Friday (June 30) evening, the remaining bicycles were gifted to workers at the Ministry dinners.
125 reflective safety jackets were donated from Trinity Parish in Port Burwell. Andy Anderson organised the collection and distribution of these items to the workers.
"This amazing sharing of resources and goodwill is a clear demonstration of the strength and benefit of being part of such a generous diocesan family." Said Rev. Paul Sherwood, Rector of Trinity Simcoe.
