Join Free Bikes 4 Kidz MN for a unique opportunity to refurbish gently used bikes and distribute them to communities who need them. Every year we collect thousands of bikes that we dust off, clean up and fix. Because of the work of our amazing volunteers, we expect to give away almost 15,000 bikes this year all while adhering to Covid protocols.
Volunteer shifts are a minimum of 3 hours and run Tuesday through Saturday this year.
Date: October into December 2024:
Hours: 9-12p, 12-3p, 3-6p, 6-9p. Jobs vary depending on the day and shift. See our calendar for details.
This is a great opportunity for individuals or groups. And with chaperones, it is an excellent volunteer opportunity for youth over the age of 12.
