OUR HISTORY
Jimmy’s Bike Drive
Jimmys Bike drive started in 2017 in the form of a small Toys for Tots box to collect donations at the bar for a yearly Christmas concert put on by the local band L Shaped Lot . After a couple weeks not many toys had been collected so owner Jimmy Gilleece put out a call to the community and said that for every brand new bike donated he would match the donation bike for bike up to 10. Little did he know that it would open the flood gates and create a wave of community support that we had never seen before. In less than 2 weeks 201 bikes were donated for kids in need for Christmas. Each year after the number steadily grew and in 2023 over 1,600 bikes were raised for families in need. In recent years Jimmys met the quota for what Toys for Tots could take and we decided to become an official 501 C3 organization and team up with over 44 charities and schools across the state and beyond to get brand new bikes to those who need them. This has only been possible with the help of local volunteers and community leaders who have donated their storage spaces time and effort.
