Donations


Here's a week's worth of bike donations that come through at Southland. I have the privilege of being a part of a program that fixes these bikes up and sends them out to people in need. Whether it's a kid's bike that's going for a birthday present or a bike going to a homeless man to get him to work, these bikes will see some meaningful action.

I love being a part of something bigger than me. Bonus that it's a bike thing, too.

Get out there.

  1. That is great!!! I wish we had a program like that around here. Its saddening the lack of care for the community in this area. Even starting a lightly used clothing drive has been like pooling teeth for the public. Like lets just ignore the poverty and homeless issues, and hope it goes away. I applaud you in lending a hand, and wish the program luck

  2. Thanks for the kind words, Joe. It's been pretty amazing since the beginning. I've been contacted by three different organizations in the community since starting the program. They've either wanted to donate something or lend services. They don't care that it's through a church or anything. They just believe in bikes and want to help get the culture changed in that direction. I've been blown away by their willingness. I'm excited to see what happens as it develops. Hope things start changing where you are!
