The State College Elks Lodge No. 1600 recently provided new bikes, bike locks, new boots and coats, and baskets containing hygiene products to the nonprofit Hearts for the Homeless. The bikes will help clients get to and from part-time jobs or appointments. Funding for this project was provided by an Elks National Foundation grant, local grants, support from Sears and individual donations. The bikes were assembled by volunteers from the Nittany Mountain Bike Association. Pictured, from left, are Elks Terri Rudy, Brenda Kephart and Adam Schram, Ashton Munoz, of Hearts for the Homeless, and Perry Schram, also of the Elks.
