Gary Cornellier, a member of Fr. John Howard Council #8500 in Highland, MI looks on as Malika, a staff member at the Homework House in Highland Park, tries out a new bike donated by the council’s Knight’s Bike initiative.

Malika will use the bicycle to travel to work at the Homework House, which provides children in the Detroit suburb with a safe place to study.
