Fix bikes for folks who need transportation
What's it all about?
Lack of transportation is one of the many barriers families and individuals experiencing financial insecurity and homelessness face. The St. Vincent de Paul Bike Shop assesses and repairs bikes to help many in our community. Whether it goes to a guest who needs transportation to a job, a dining room child who needs to get to school, or to one of our thrift stores to provide an affordable option for a neighbor in need. That bike means improved opportunity, increased access to resources, and the sense of freedom and independence to help people gain stability and seek a better life.
