01What it does

What Bikes for Kids does

Mission

Bikes for Kids is an organization that repairs old and purchases new bikes to donate to needy children and youth in san joaquin county. As this is likely the final year of this organization, spare bikes and parts were donated to a prison in california that trains inmates to repair and then the bikes will be distributed.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. To restore bikes and donate to needy children and youth. Many in the community help with the restoration of at least 50 bikes annually are distributed.

    $7,191 spent

The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $7,191.
