PitCare has distributed over 350 bikes over the past several years to children and teens in Pitcairn. Additionally, we have distributed bikes to adults both in Pitcairn and through the Light of Life Mission to be used for transportation to and from work.
Through the leadership of Gary Agate, bike repair and distribution is an ongoing, year-round activity. We have sponsored bike give-aways, as well as bike repair days, in which volunteers come into Pitcairn to teach and repair bicycles.
In the spring of 2018 we partnered with the Presbyterian Church of Pitcairn to host an annual "Blessing of the Bikes" and Strawberry Festival. We have received donations of bicycles from individuals, Monroeville Rotary Club, Grace Presbyterian Church, and Penn Hills Police Department, just to name a few.
We are always accepting bikes in solid condition that might need a tune up. Additionally, donations help to purchase parts and tools used to ensure every bike is safe to ride.
