| Explanation | Music Education Group (MEG) conducted a Christmas giveaway of 253 bicycles to underserved youth in the Mechanicville area of Atlanta, GA. Expenses incurred included the rental of a U-Haul, the purchase of gasoline for the truck and some food. Our annual Christmas event is at the Dunbar Recreation Center and most of the youth attend the Center's after school program. We also get students from the surrounding schools in that area. | ExplanationTxt |
