There are many ways to give back to the community and the less fortunate. Some people donate food, clothes, money, or anything else essential to living.
All of these are very useful, but what if you gave the gift of mobility? The ability to get from point A to point B. Something we all sometimes take for granted when it is so readily available.
That’s what our guest on today’s episode is doing. The founder of Bike Ministry, pastor Robbie Pruitt and a team of volunteers have restored over 1400 bikes in the past 22 months. All funds from repairing bikes have gone toward repairing and donating bikes for homeless shelters or to children in under-resourced areas.
Bike Ministry gained traction when Robbie was approached by news outlets to share Bike Ministry with the public during the pandemic when there wasn’t a whole lot of good news being shown. Since it was a worthy cause and something that may help bring the community together in a time when there was nothing good on the news, he decided to agree to share his story to encourage and inspire people.
Well, it did the trick, because Robbie is now at capacity, fixing bikes in his home and providing bikes to anyone in need.This is a beautiful story about good people coming together for the betterment of humanity.
