Richfield Bowl Gives Free Bowling To Kids In Struggling Michigan Community

In Flint, Mich., a community with high unemployment and poverty rates, a local bowling alley decided to give struggling families a break this summer by offering free bowling to children.

Richfield Bowl has given free bowling to 3,000 children over the last four months, a generous donation worth over $1 million in lost income. Some of the kids taking part in the program are fleeing their impoverished neighborhoods; others are autistic -- all are in need of a fun activity.

This is just cool, period. If I lived there I'd be dragging kids out of their house and taking them down there just for the fun of it. Wonderful!

Where can people contribute to the bowling alley for the great service they are providing the community?
