Day-to-day in the shop

Here is a post from Grant

Bike division coordinator & HWI's first intern.

Grant in the summer at the shop

What happens in the shop day-to-day: Each morning one or more of the volunteers greet me heartily as I walk in the shop door. They almost always arrive up to an hour before me to start working on their projects. I check which bikes they are working on, put away bikes/parts that may have just been donated, and make sure our sign has been rolled out.

Sign in the Summer

The majority of the next 3 hours is taken up with helping volunteers with repairs, sorting parts/bikes, checking in with Alice, praying together, and interacting with people picking/dropping off bikes. Because there is no Internet at the shop I don’t spend much time planning new programs or connecting with other organizations that we work with. Because the weather has been very cold we haven’t had many bike heading out besides those we give to World Relief every week.
