Overview

Project "Spoke for Folks" is a project that helps individuals who lack reliable transportation by providing them with a new bicycle and the knowledge of how to use it to change their lives.  Many people have a difficult time holding down a regular job or finishing school because they lack transportation.  "Spoke for Folks" will change that.  We will provide a bicycle, helmet, a safety seminar, and bicycle maintenance seminar, to empower these residents to improve their financial and physical well-being.
Deliverables:100+ residents will receive a bicycle, helmet, lock, and small toolkit along with training on how to use and maintain the bicycle. Follow-up with recipients to make sure they haven't run into issues.

How will the 25K be Used?

$ 18,000 Bicycles
$ 2,500 Helmets
$ 2,000 Basic toolset to help maintain bicycles for each recipient
$ 2,000 Bicycle Locks
