FCCB is always interested in making new connections and partnerships in the community to help us expand our mission of helping others learn bike repair skills, and connecting people in need of a bike with a safe and affordable ride.
Last Sunday (12/9/2018) we were happy to meet Mildred, the Community Liaison at La Casita Center, and her husband, Greg, and volunteers. FCCB offered a tour of our shop, and explained to our visitors from La Casita how we assist our community with bike-skills education, and by providing low-cost transportation. We donated a refurbished commuter-style mountain bike to La Casita, who accepted it on behalf of Juan, an individual within the La Casita community network.
La Casita is a local non-profit dedicated to enhancing the well being of the Latino community within Louisville. Founded in 2005, La Casita has been able to create community spaces dedicated to support, education and empowerment as well as providing programming services. La Casita has been able to offer accompaniment and support to up to 300 families per year!
Thanks for stopping by, La Casita! Best luck with your mission, and keep in touch!
