The California Medical Facility (CMF) bike project was recently recognized for its positive impact on student attendance at local schools.

The Governing Board of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District honored CMF for a donation of bicycles to the student services department. The school district distributed the donated bicycles to students in need.

Warden Robert W. Fox and Community Resources Manager David Maldonado accepted the award at the March 30, 2017, meeting.

“The Board recognizes (CMF) has donated bikes which are distributed to students facing transportation issues. This contribution has had a positive impact on the District’s attendance initiatives,” said Judi Honeychurch, Board President.

The CMF Bike Project has been around since the 1980s, providing thousands of disadvantaged children with an opportunity to have a bike of their own. CMF receives donated bikes and parts from the surrounding community, providing minimum-security inmates with tangible job skills by refurbishing the bikes.

The renewed bicycles are donated to the community through non-profit agencies, organizations and residents.

CMF strives to maintain positive community relations by working with local agencies, businesses, community members and organizations to create partnerships.
