Gratitude

Thank You

Reborn Bikes extends our sincere gratitude to the donors and sponsors who make our work possible. Your generosity allows us to collect, refurbish, and distribute bicycles to children, adults, and families throughout our communities in Oregon and Southern Washington.

Because of your support, thousands of bikes are given new life each year — providing reliable transportation, promoting healthy lifestyles, and expanding access to opportunity for those in need. Your partnership helps us reduce waste, strengthen communities, and create meaningful impact across the region.

Together, we are putting more people on bikes and making a lasting difference.

Special thanks to everyone who helped load and ship 527 bicycles to Central America.
