Our ride is a fundraiser for the Fuller Center for Housing. Since we stay in host churches, 97% of the donated funds go toward helping families with their housing needs through the work of local covenant partners. About 3% helps with expenses for the bike ride itself–gas for the van, snacks, and laundry supplies, for example. I believe this charity is very responsible with the money donated, so I have decided to donate $448 ($0.01 per mile + 3% for expenses). My fund- raising goal is $5000. As of May 4, I am 71% of the way there.
If everyone I know would donate $20, I would be at my goal in no time!
