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.Tune in to hear how Robbie created Bike Ministry and how you can help!Topics discussed in this episode:Where Robbie’s love for bikes came fromHow Robbie started Bike MinistryHow Robbie learned to fix bikesWhy Robbie was hesitant about being approached by news outletsHow the community got involved with Bike MinistryValidation from community donationsHow often does Robbie do Bike Ministry pop-ups?Important lessons Robbie has learned since starting Bike MinistryRobbie’s motivation behind Bike MinistryHow can people help?Donation Page: https://www.shacfairfax.org/donateBike Ministry Websites: https://www.shacfairfax.org/fairfax-free-bike https://www.robbiepruitt.com/bike-ministryConnect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeEmail: info@trumancharities.com
