We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in Nellie’s Bike Sharing Program.  In just over a month YOU have helped us create a brand new program that is helping women and children at Nellie’s get around the city!

In total we received 24 women’s bikes and 7 children’s bikes.  In addition, we also received locks, lights, and helmets to keep our riders safe.

We are so pleased to be able to share this feedback from the women at the shelter:

“In all my life I have never had a bike.  I’m 45 now and I finally have one.  This program has changed my life!“

“I feel so proud to have a bike that’s all mine!“

“I can put my things in the basket and then I go.  To work, to shopping…it’s good!“

From shopping and appointments, to work and outings, the women and children at Nellie’s are enjoying the benefits of increased physical activity, connecting with community supports, and also having a lot of fun!

Thanks to our kind and generous supporters, we now have all the bikes we need.  If you are a community organization in need of bikes this summer, please contact info@nellies.org and we would be more than happy to share the love and direct any additional bike donors your way.
