The GOALS Employer Liaison for the South Central region saw a need and got creative. He worked with community partners and other DCF staff to match refurbished bicycles and locks with those in need of immediate transportation and, in some cases, flexibility for various shifts. One proud recipient of a bicycle was Duane. Soon after Duane enrolled in the pilot, the Wichita team worked together to quickly connect him with local community resources to meet his immediate needs, helped him create a resume, and provided a refurbished bicycle and lock. Duane called six days later to report he had found full-time employment!
