Thanks for thinking of us! We make great use of every donation. Your support each year allows us to divert over 23,000 kgs of bikes and parts from the landfill, and fix and distribute thousands of bikes.
We estimate that $180 of value is invested into every bike that leaves our shop, and your support allows us to make these bikes deeply affordable and sometimes free to thousands of Winnipeggers each year.
Your donations go directly towards staffing, supplies, rent, supporting volunteers, transportation; and helmets, lights, and locks.
-
People: Our staff bring bike mechanic education to schools and communities throughout the province. We're passing on bike mechanic skillsets that last a lifetime. We also love to celebrate our generous volunteers.
-
Transportation: While everyone in our organization is an avid cyclist, we need trucks to transport bikes and parts from the 4R sites to our shop, and from our shop out into the community.
-
Helmets, Lights, and Locks: These are essential items that can't come from the 4R sites. Kids who receive our bikes through programming always receive a helmet, a safety light, and a lock. It just makes sense!
Thanks again for supporting the WRENCH! We are very grateful.
We take all donations of bikes and parts at Winnipeg's 4R Sites. Make sure you check their hours prior to your drop-off. We check each site about twice a month, and gather the bikes and parts that best serve our program at any given time. We'll ensure your donation serves its best possible use in our community services and programs. Thanks again!
