This past weekend my youngest son, Aidan, donated his old bike to Jack the Bike Man. If you are not familiar with Jack the Bike Man he runs a non-profit organization that accepts new and used bike donations and gives them away to needy children.
Besides accepting new and used bike donations Jack the Bike Man also accepts bikes that are in need of repair along with monetary donations. While Jack the Bike Man gives away the children's bikes that he receives he sells the adult bicycles as a fundraiser for the charity.
This is truly an awesome program that keeps bicycles out of landfills and gives back to the community. Every Christmas Jack the Bike Man gives away hundreds of bikes to children, this year he gave away over 800 and told me if he starts getting bikes now that need repair can have them fixed and ready for next Christmas.
Jack the Bike Man's Mission: "Provide education, guidance and training to at-risk children of migrant workers and their parents, and to give hope with skills that will assist them in their transition to a new life in the United States of America through bicycle programs and other projects."
