We welcome more bikes to more refugees for more impact!  We now have a dedicated @americorps VISTA focused on this service. Why bikes? Bicycles empower refugees to explore their new communities and commute more easily to work and school. Bicycles are a powerful tool to help accelerate employment opportunities for refugees. We want your help to share bicycles so that more refugees can become more self-sufficient more quickly. Donate your used bicycle, used pump and u-lock or a new helmet and new bicycle. Donations of bicycles are now being accepted Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 8 am to 11 am. Additionally, if you have the expertise and know-how to repair bicycles, you can come to our warehouse and pick up bicycles to repair at your house. For more information on bike donations or participating in bicycle repairs, please email info@wtap.org.

Remote working and remote learning have driven Arizonans to upgrade their computers, and we are looking to use your old desktop or laptop to share with refugees. When you upgrade your computer, you can help uplift refugees in our community. We work with PCs for Refugees to wipe your computer clean of personal information, and then we program it with tools to accelerate employment. Computers are a critical resource on the path to self-sufficiency because computers enable refugees to more easily learn English, search for jobs, and utilize career building resources. What’s your role? Please donate computers, laptops, monitors, keyboards and other computer accessories. Consider looking beyond your own home office and try collecting computers and computer accessories in your neighborhood, church or place of work.  Donations of computers are now being accepted at the warehouse on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 8 am to 11 am. Additionally, if you have the skills to repair and program computers, you can contact info@wtap.org to learn about opportunities to volunteer and help get computers ready to share with refugees.
