Garage Bar and Grill thank you so much! Had dinner there tonight, awesome as usual. So great to have folks like Kevin stepping up to help others.

Huge thanks to kevinafarhat and everyone who attended the first annual garagebardowntown golf outing! They raised $10,000 for Food Hugs! That will help us cover a whole month of Food Hugging! It’s the biggest donation we have had in a long time! Bless you all!🩷

What an accomplishment! Thanks fr your great work and so glad you're in our hood

Major milestone! Last week, on our birthday, we provided our 1000th no-cost bike of the year to its new rider.

This work is possible thanks to participation of the entire Upcycle Bikes community—our incredible distribution partners; bike drive hosts, bike donors, and bike collection sites; volunteers, staff, and board; donors and funders; and, of course, the 1000 riders in our community who are cycling their way to independence, opportunity, and connection with their new rides.
