At Poway Road Mini Storage, we believe in giving back to our community, and this year we are proud to announce our annual $1,000 donation to the Bikes for Kids Foundation. This local non-profit, headquartered right here in Poway, was founded in 2002 with a mission to instill hope and confidence in disadvantaged children across the U.S. By focusing on third and fourth graders from low-income households, they aim to empower children at a critical stage in their development, helping them recognize their potential and break the cycle of poverty.
Bikes for Kids Foundation's unique two-year program combines education with a bike reward system. Through this initiative, children read and analyze three books, write essays about how the lessons apply to their own lives, and receive bicycles as a reward for their effort. While the top three essays are promised a bike, all children in the program ultimately receive one, reinforcing the value of hard work and determination.
We had the pleasure of meeting with Debbie and Bill, two of the passionate founders of the organization. Their dedication to this cause is truly inspiring, and they shared that 100% of our donation will go directly toward the purchase of bikes for the kids. Even more exciting, the foundation designs and manufactures the majority of their bikes in-house, ensuring both quality and affordability.
By supporting the Bikes for Kids Foundation, we hope to contribute to their mission of breaking cycles of poverty and entitlement through education and effort. We are honored to be a part of their work and look forward to seeing the positive impact this donation will make in the lives of the children they support.
