Our Charity Partners

Goodwill/Goodwill Industries is a nationwide organization with the mission of putting people to work. Goodwill's Retail Services collect donated clothing and household goods, then sells the items in their stores for affordable prices. Revenue from sales of donated items provides funding for vocational training and other programs and services that Goodwill offers. It is important to note that 93 cents of every dollar they spend goes directly to their programs and services. Goodwill is consistently ranked among top charities that make your donation go further.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. Since our founding in 1976, we have helped more than 22 million people build or improve the place they call home.

Youths who work at Second Life Bikes put in 15 hours of time in exchange for a bicycle of their own, which they restore using the skills they've learned. In addition to gaining valuable practical skills, youths are exposed to the value of committing their time to a community organization. Second Life Bikes aims to provide the surrounding communities with the opportunity to purchase a mechanically refurbished bicycle at a reasonable cost, to buy parts and accessories, and to have their own bicycles repaired. Second Life Bikes seeks to foster a participatory environment wherein adults are encouraged to volunteer their time, regardless of mechanical ability. We always welcome those who would like to contribute effort to any of the various ways in which the bike shop functions from day to day. Donated bicycles and parts are vital in sustaining Second Life Bikes; everything we are given is put to good use and given the chance to have a "second life".
