Master Lock Donates 225 Bike Locks to Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative

Master Lock distributed bike locks at "Bikes for Stripes Summer Resource Fair" to help those in need

MILWAUKEE, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Master Lock, the industry leader in padlocks and security products, donated bike locks to the Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative (MHVI) as part of its "Bikes for Stripes" program. The initiative is a joint venture of MHVI, Elmbrook Rotary Foundation and Milwaukee County Veterans Service Office to promote the health and mobility of Milwaukee County veterans by offering free, donated bicycles, helmets and locks to homeless veterans, who often have no other form of transportation.

The Bikes for Stripes Summer Resource Fair took place on Flag Day, June 14, where MHVI supplied veterans and their children with bicycles, accessories and resources. Master Lock donated 225 bike locks, giving veterans and their families a form of protection and security for their new property.

"The Master Lock Company is proud to work with MHVI to support local veterans in the Milwaukee community," said Jason Williams, president, Master Lock. "Having their own form of transportation empowers veterans to regain their independence and mobility. Providing secure bike locks is a small but important step in ensuring they can move freely and safely throughout their daily lives."

"Master Lock's generous donation of bike locks makes a big impact for our program," said Debbie Buchanan, executive director, MHVI. "Ensuring the safety and security of the bikes we provide is paramount, and with Master Lock's support, we can offer our veterans peace of mind as they navigate their daily lives."
