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.
