As I mentioned in this post asking you for bikes, I plan on keeping you updated on bikes donated towards our goal as well as updates on how our youth programs have been going. So let’s break this down:
Bikes donated since June 29th:
272, So we only have 28 more to go to reach our goal! (And we still have one week until our September 1st deadline!)
Youth Earn-a-Bike:
I’m going to update you on our year-to-date data to get you started before I start updating you week to week. Between January 1st and August 17th there were 128 bikes earned by youth.
In the past week 5 more bikes have been earned bringing the total to 133 bikes.
Youth Give-a-Way:
The Hub gives away bikes to youth younger than 7 years old since they are too young to begin working with tools. Between January 1st and August 17th 64 bikes have been given away to youth younger than 7 years old.
In the past week no more bikes went out to youth younger than 7 years old. That kind of stinks, but we are building up bikes for some school kids for an event on August 25th (that is tomorrow).
Community Partnerships:
The Hub often works with other groups like City Year, the Mt. Elliot Makerspace and other groups that work with youth. Sometimes when we can and they ask, we give them bikes. Between January 1st and July 27th we were able to give out 67 bikes that made their way to youth through our partners.
In the past week there haven’t been anymore bikes going out to partners. Heck, if we had the bikes to spare we wouldn’t be doing this drive right?
Total Bikes Earned or Given to Youth so Far This Year:
264
