Non-profit organization is biking coast to coast to help build affordable housing
) - A group of cross-country cyclists traveling from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast to help build homes made a stop in Mobile.
“The whole goal is the idea of raising funds and awareness for affordable housing. It was just a handful of people that really cared about it and a habitat that they decided that they really wanted to support it so they decided to raise funds and go across the country with working with different build sites,” said Devon Wilson, Bike&Build co-leader.
“We’re going to be fencing in the perimeter of both these houses, we’re going to be doing some touch-up paint, some little things inside to finish up so we can get our insulation put in,” said Courtney Rouse-Heinz, Executive Director of HFHSWA.“We’re so excited for them to come out today and get a bunch of work done,” said Rouse-Heinz.
“So for biking, we had to train 500 miles...before even riding we did a whole safety training,” said Phoebe Mrozinski, a Bike & Build cyclist “for the building part of our trip we volunteered for sweat equity hours, 15 hours.”
