Servicemembers Build Bikes for Kids at Fort Carson

Colorado Springs – On August 25, around 100 servicemembers will gather at Fort Carson to build 50 bikes, then deliver them to Fort Carson Middle. The event was coordinated by Volunteers of America and sponsored by Weifield; a construction group devoted to doing good within the community.
