Support the Workers
Your contribution will enable us to support our community and provide transportation for workers. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
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 .
Our mission is to provide bicycles to WNY people and/or families who wish to work, but lack basic transportation. Biking and our hometown have been good to us, so we’ve decided to pay it forward by providing bikes and helmets to Buffalo's newest residents.
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.
