In order to support their mission and help meet the needs of the youth they serve, Build Futures recently launched a social enterprise business – Bikes Build Futures. The nonprofit business will receive donated bikes, recondition them and resell them to the public.

Bikes can be donated the second Saturday of each month from 9 AM to 12 at:

2454A N. Glassell  Orange, CA 92865

Pick ups can also be arranged by contacting Kathy@BuildFutures.org.

Through this business, Bikes Build Futures will be able to employ youth they serve and help them take the first step to self-sufficiency by fostering confidence in their ability to find and succeed at employment.

These deserving homeless youth will have an opportunity to learn basic job skills, receive bike transportation, and be able to apply basic life skills to help themselves into a better situation.

A study by Martha Burt of Urban Institute found that the longer a youth or young adult is homeless, the higher the risk that he or she will become a chronically homeless adult. Homelessness has serious consequences and long-term implications for youth, young adults and communities. The hope of Bikes Build Futures is to play a significant role in shifting homeless youth off the streets and into independent, contributing members of society.

To volunteer or donate space, contact Kathy Tillotson at Kathy@BuildFutures.org
