Have you heard of Bike and Build?

Have you heard of Bike and Build? I had not until today. This job is so fascinating-- I find new branches of
the Habitat tree every day. It is so fulfilling to be involved with an organization that is so loved and so known. This is what running a sucessfull organization can do-- I know a few organizations that should take notes.

Anyway, Bike and Build is an organization that collects pledge gifts by biking across America and helping in affordable housing projects. They use the money to supply these projects with grants and "on the road donations". They helped Habitat of Kanwaha and Putnam last year on a home build and one of the bikers donated her money to us. It's largely youth driven, and the bikers are given discretion over where their pledge money goes. It is just really cool.


Check them out (and maybe donate!) here: http://www.bikeandbuild.org
