We receive donated used bicycles and they all need some level of repair before we can make them available to those in need. We have a full inventory of parts and tools. You do not need to bring anything except your hands. Don't know how to repair a bicycle? No worries. We can teach you. Love working on bicycles? Great! We are excited to have another pair of hands. You can set your own hours and come and go as your schedule allows.

We rely on a steady stream of free, used bicycles coming into our organization. There are many wonderful opportunities to acquire free bicycles. This is where we need you. We need you to find those bikes and collect them up. Once you have a few, we can come pick them up. A few great resources for finding free bikes are Facebook Marketplace, FreeCycle, BuyNothing, and many more. If you like driving around, drive around housing developments and you will find bicycles thrown away at the curb. This is a great opportunity to be a treasure hunter!

We receive used, donated bicycles from individuals and organizations within our community. We need volunteers to perform those pickups. The same is true once we repair a bicycle. When one of our partner organizations requests bicycles, we need to deliver bicycles to them. Don't have a vehicle that can handle bicycles? No worries. We have a cargo van you can use to perform the necessary pickups and deliveries. Some of these trips happen during the day, while others happen after working hours. Commonly there is flexiblity with pickup and delivery times.

Mission Statement
Second Wind Bicycles is on a mission to bring the transformative power of bicycles to those who need it most - financially at-risk families, refugees, individuals in recovery, and those struggling with homelessness. Despite the prevalence of bikes, these groups are often left without access to reliable transportation. That's why we're dedicated to finding, fixing, and distributing bikes with compassion and generosity.
Description
Founded in 2021, Second Wind Bicycles is a 501c3 non-profit. We started by supplying bikes to a homeless organization and as we expanded our reach, we noticed a lack of bicycle access for those in need.
With this need in mind, we took action to fill the gap. Our dedicated group of volunteers generously give their time and skills to make a positive impact on others' lives. We are constantly inspired as we witness how God works through our organization to uplift and empower each other.
