Bikes For Christ is the premier provider of transportation in the Tampa Bay area to organizations that work with those in need. In the past 70 years, we have worked with over 200 organizations to help those in need of transportation regionally across parts of five counties. Some of our most well known partners are Metropolitan Ministries, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, HCSO Homeless Initiative, Tampa Veterans Administration, Florida Dept. of Corrections, Children’s Board Family Resource Centers, Society of St. Vincent de Paul and many more.
Our mission is to restore independence and ignite hope, with a special focus on veterans re-establishing their lives, underprivileged children, and anyone striving to overcome hardship. For every bicycle we provide, we also share a Gospel of John, extending a message of God's love and reminding each individual that they are valued and cared for. This commitment to spiritual and physical nourishment is a cornerstone of our ministry, and we proudly offer faith-based literature at every event we attend.
The gift of a bicycle is truly life-changing. It’s the key that unlocks a new future for a low-income parent, enabling them to commute many miles to work, visit a doctor, or attend vital parenting classes. For a child, it’s the path to safety, allowing them to commute to school, attend tutoring at the local library, participate in extracurricular activities, or proudly ride to their very first job. This is the tangible, immediate impact of every bicycle we distribute.
Our reach extends far beyond local streets, carrying our mission across the globe. We have been blessed to provide bicycles in Guatemala, Haiti, and Liberia, Africa, with our most recent international partnership supporting Blessed To Bless Others in Malawi. There, we sponsored 10 bicycles for pastors and missionaries, and the ripple effect has been nothing short of miraculous. This sponsorship has led to the planting of 4 new churches, the establishment of 30 evangelism outposts, and the addition of 60 missionaries. The Gospel has since spread to 105 previously unreached "dry zones," resulting in over 13,000 people hearing the word of God and 339 coming to know Christ through baptism.
