What they do

During Fiscal Year 2017, We-Cycle Put 35 Adult Bicycles and 30 Kids Bicycles Back Into The Hands of The Homeless and At-risk Population. We Work In Partnership With Local Homeless Shelters, Youth Services, and Other Organizations That Serve The Homeless and At-risk. The Recipients of These Bikes Use Them for Transportation to Obtain or Maintain Employment, Keep Professional, Medical, and Personal Appointments, Increase Grocery and Other Shopping Options, and to Otherwise Become or Stay Engaged In Their Community. Each Recipient Receives A Helmet, Bike Lock, and Lights. Additional Accessories Include A Multi-tool, Water Bottle, and Bike Rack, As Resources Allow. We-Cyle Has Hosted A Youth Earn-a-Bike In Which A Dozen Local Shelter Youth Participated Over An 8-week Program, Thereby Earning Their Own Bike and Learning A Valuable Skill Set. Local Neighborhood Youth Have Also Used Shop Hours to Fix Up Their Own Bikes. We-Cycle Partnered With An ISU Summer Program to Provide Those Students W
