Fall Bike Celebration and Multi-Charity Bikeathon

On Saturday, September 18, Bike Friendly Kalamazoo is holding their first-ever Multi-Charity Bikeathon, and Ministry with Community is one of their chosen organizations!
The ride starts at 9am at the Vicksburg Community Pavilion, and will be a fun, short-course, social bicycling event.
If you are interested in participating and supporting us, you can ride for our team, make a donation, or spread the word to others who may be interested. Follow this link for more information and registration.
Please reach out to Matt Claus, Development Director, at mclaus@ministrywithcommunity.org if you would like to know more.
About our Bike Program
We are excited to be included in this event! The cycling community in Kalamazoo has long supported Ministry with Community’s Bike Program, which provides members with refurbished bikes that they can use to get to and from their job.
We accept donations of adult-size bikes in good, working condition. These bikes are generously tuned up by Rick Lee and the wonderful team at Zoo City Cycle & Sport. Once we know that the bikes are safe and ready to go, our Social Work Team pairs them with newly employed members in need of reliable transportation.
In 2020, the Kalamazoo Bicycle Club presented Ministry with Community and Zoo City Cycle & Sport with their Friend of Bicycling Award for “putting workers on wheels” in our community.
Interested in donating a bike? Contact us at 269-343-6073 x122 or at programs@ministrywithcommunity.org for more information.
