The Children’s Charity of Iowa gave away 40 free bikes to kids in the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Corridor last week.
The Children’s Charity of Iowa, a nonprofit based in Des Moines, is dedicated to improving the lives of children who are at risk, underprivileged, critically ill or living with special needs. Bikes directly impact a child and their family by instilling a sense of responsibility and facilitating a the simple joy of riding a bike, according to a news release from Variety, the Children’s Charity of Iowa.
Bikes often go hand-in-hand with being a kid, but for many children in Eastern Iowa, the prospect of owning their own bike is only a dream, according to a news release from Variety. Variety helps make that dream a reality by providing bikes, helmets and bike locks to children in Iowa.
