The team up with WashCo Bikes strategic nonprofit partner, FB4kidz Portland, has made it possible to expand our collection programs and distribution of bikes to those in need. This Fellowship of The Chainring has made our shared coalition the largest distributor of free bikes, locks, lights and safety instruction on the West Coast.

 

 

 November kicks off our annual fundraiser for our Adopt-a-Bike program and will run through the end of the year. We have given away a record number of bicycles this year.  September 2022 we gave 293 bicycles away. All were refurbished in our bike shop by trained bicycle mechanics. In order to continue making these bikes available to persons who cannot afford one, we need your help. Donations can be made in person or mail at our Community Bike Shop (135 NE 3rd Ave. Hillsboro) or online using the Donate button.
