Welcome to Wheels for Workers!

Wheels for Workers 716 is a new non-profit, supporting Buffalo’s large number of re-settling families. Our community partners include Casella Waste Systems, GoBike, Hello Buffalo!, Slow Spokes Buffalo, Stone Bench Consulting, West Herr, WNY Rotary Clubs, and Journey’s End Refugee Services .

 Wheels for Workers 716 is a 100% volunteer organization. Our mission is to collect and renew donated bicycles, and to give them to Western New York residents, and those resettling in Western New York. We provide bikes in order to meet transportation needs for employment by distributing them to our partner agencies who provide them to those in need. We are environmentally conscious and strive to reuse, to educate, and to grow a sense of community. We welcome volunteers of all ages, abilities, cultures, and backgrounds. We welcome donated bikes in any condition. We do not repair non-donated bikes.  

We exist through the generosity of the time, talent, and treasure of our community. 

What we do: 

WW716 collects unused bikes and bike parts, provides necessary repairs and servicing to make them functional, and coordinates their distribution to needy families. 

How it works: 

● WW716 collects bikes at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church , 4007 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14226 (Look for the blue bike that marks the driveway on Main Street, just east of Eggert Rd. The bike racks are in back!). Drop off anytime, at your convenience! 

● Our volunteer mechanics provide necessary service and repairs, restoring bikes to ride-able condition. 

● Journey’s End Refugee Services connects us to our new neighbors, linking ride-ready bikes to work-ready Buffalonians. 

What we need: 

● Bikes and bike parts 

● Donations 

● Help spreading the word 

● Volunteers 

How to reach us: 

As we’re a new organization, we’re still building our organizational structure with the help of many, kind volunteers.
