Help Someone in Need
Please help us by donating funds to help our Lehigh Valley parents acquire a free bicycle (including a new helmet and education)* for their child this holiday season. Make a donation today!
If you are an individual or local business interested in sponsoring a “holiday bike,” your support would be greatly appreciated to help cover the cost of parts and tools. Our goal is to rebuild 200+ bikes for deserving families. Your name or organization will be passed along to the recipient when they receive the bike. You as an individual or business can leave whatever message you’d like to the recipient of your sponsorship.
Donate Now!
Need a Bike?
If you know any Lehigh Valley families who would really love to receive a newly rebuilt bike for their child (including a new helmet and bike education) in the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, please pass on this invitation.
Bikes are now available and can be picked up by appointment at the CAT Bicycle Cooperative. To schedule an appointment or to volunteer, email cat@lvcat.org or call 610-954-5744.
There is no cost to the families who are receiving the bikes.
If you would like to support this program, donations can be made here.
CAT thanks you for your donation to help cover the cost of tires, brakes, saddles, and other supplies!
Help Us Fix-up Bikes
Want to help build bikes for children this holiday season? This is a great chance to learn and practice bike mechanic skills and to give back to the community.
We spend months refurbishing hundreds of bikes for children ages 3-12. Volunteer bike build sessions are open October through December. Please contact us to sign-up for a time slot to come help!
