🚲💙 A very big THANK YOU to Cycles for Christ and Hudson Presbyterian Church for their incredible generosity!

We are beyond grateful for their decade-long partnership and commitment to supporting newcomer families in Northeast Ohio. Most recently, they donated more than 27 bicycles, along with helmets and locks, for USCRI Cleveland clients ranging from young children to adults.

These bikes provide more than transportation. They help individuals and families access school, work, appointments, and community resources while building independence and connection.

In 2025 alone, Cycles for Christ provided over 450 bicycles throughout the community. We are honored to partner with an organization that makes such a meaningful impact.

Thank you for helping our clients move forward, one bike at a time! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️❤️

233 families fed. 150+ volunteer hours.

Week after week, USCRI Cleveland volunteers load their cars with groceries and head out to deliver food to newcomer families who lost SNAP benefits and are struggling to put meals on the table.

Since late 2024, they’ve shown up every single week, delivering pantry staples, fresh produce, and protein directly to families’ doorsteps. Because when support is taken away, our communities show up.
