From helping homeless youth to providing assistance in obtaining disability benefits, to providing transportation, to offering intensive job training, we operate a number of innovative supportive services programs to support our efforts of ending homelessness in our community.

Hope can positively impact a life, a bike is a small price to pay for that kind of hope. A bike can help a person get to a shelter for food, water, clothing, medical care, and sometimes a clean bed . A bike can help someone find and sustain employment. And most importantly, a bike can help bring back the hope and the joy that so many of our homeless neighbors and people-in-need have lost.
