Spring is almost here, and that means bikes will be back out on the streets. 🚲
We want to make sure kids are riding safely — and we need help from our community to do it.

We are currently looking for:

🚔 Police partners
Departments that want to distribute free helmets to kids and reward those who wear them.

💛 Donations
Every dollar goes directly toward purchasing helmets for children who need them.

🏢 Grant support
Does your business — or one you know — give to local nonprofits? We’d love to connect about funding helmet programs for kids.

If you or your organization can help in any of these ways, please reach out. Together we can make this biking season safer for kids.

I’m auctioning off a couple of autographed St. Louis Cardinals jerseys to support Helmets First, our nonprofit dedicated to getting bicycle helmets to kids who need them.

If you’d like to bid and help protect a child’s future, check out the auction here:

Every bid makes a difference.

Thank Mueller Furniture!!

✨ Community Impact! ✨

With your help, Mueller Furniture donated 𝟕𝟓 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐬 to St. Louis kids through Helmets First! and the St. Louis Police Department 🚴💙

For every mattress purchased, we gave a helmet to a child in need. Together with our sales, support, and delivery teams, and YOU—our customers—we made this possible.

Here’s our Lake St. Louis team with owners 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 & 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 and 𝐃𝐫. 𝐉𝐨𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐬 proudly presenting the helmets.

Thank you for shopping local, supporting American-made furniture, and giving back to our community! 🙌

Helmets First! is dedicated to keeping kids safe by providing free bicycle helmets to children in our community—especially those who might not otherwise have access to one. With over 35,000 helmets already distributed, our mission is simple: protect young riders and encourage safe biking habits from an early age. Your support helps us partner with local police departments to not only hand out helmets but also reward kids for wearing them. Every dollar raised goes directly toward purchasing and distributing more helmets to those who need them most. Help us keep kids safe—one helmet at a time!
