Hope Assembly of God distributing bicyclesBy Adam Parker (Contact)
The Post and Courier
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
"This is an inner-city church," says the Rev. Gordon Cashwell, pastor of Hope Assembly of God. Cashwell is calling out numbers inside the church, a square brick building that sits on a block between the commercial and residential parts of upper King Street. The numbers are stapled to vouchers. The vouchers are being redeemed for a free bicycle--about 170 free bicycles. This distribution is the result of a recent fundraising effort that produced $13,000, Cashwell says. The bikes are meant to help low-income residents get around town during tough times, he says. Read more about the effort in Wednesday's Post and Courier. |
