34 Young Adults Pedaling to End Poverty Housing
Bike and Build is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to ending poverty housing through creative means: cross-country cycling trips. By leading cross-country cycling trips for young adults, Bike and Build raises money for affordable housing projects and awareness of the issues, and gives young adults the chance to learn about affordable housing issues, educate others and participate in a solution.
Starting on May 25th, we will set off from Charleston, South Carolina, to bike trip through towns and cities across southern and central US to Santa Cruz, California.
Along the way, we will be hosted by a plethora of community organizations that will offer meal and/or housing. In order to thank these organizations, we will offer a thank you donation and a presentation of our cause to their community.
Along with the biking, one day a week will be spent helping out at build sites with local affordable housing organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together. Our big project will be in Colorado Springs where over the course of nine days we will build an entire house on top of the foundation laid the week before by the NC to San Diego Route.
