Love on (Two) Wheels
At Christmas, Mission and Justice extends an “extravagant welcome” to all who might like to join in the gifting of bicycles to young folk from families experiencing economic challenge. We are teaming with fellow workers for economic justice from the 2021 Community Toy Store. This exciting ministry - the joint effort of a range of generous faith groups and not-for-profits throughout Whatcom - affords marginalized parents and caregivers the opportunity to exercise full agency as they Christmas shop, at vastly reduced costs, providing their children with well-chosen gifts. If you would like to be a part of the fun, either by teaming to provide bicycles, or by serving (Covid-safely) at the store, reach out to Mona Slagle at mona@rootedgenerosity.org.
