Our mission is to restore independence and ignite hope, with a special focus on underprivileged children up to the age of 21 who are striving to overcome hardship. For every bicycle we provide, we also share a Gospel of John, extending a message of God&#8217;s love and reminding each individual that they are valued and cared for. This commitment to spiritual and physical nourishment is a cornerstone of our ministry, and we proudly offer faith-based<br \/>\nliterature at every event we attend.<\/p>\n<p>The gift of a bicycle is truly life-changing. It\u2019s the key that unlocks a new future. For a child, it\u2019s the path to safety, allowing them to commute to school, attend tutoring at the local library, participate in extracurricular activities, or proudly ride to their very first job. This is the tangible, immediate impact of every bicycle we distribute.<\/p>\n<p>Here in the Tampa Bay area, our impact is felt every single day. We are proud to distribute over 400 bicycles annually to those in need, a powerful testament to our commitment to the future of our great nation. In addition to our core mission, our commitment to strengthening the community&#8217;s foundation led us to become a founding sponsor of Backpack Hero. This powerful collaboration of local nonprofits is dedicated to equipping school-aged children in East Hillsborough for success. We are thrilled to have recently participated in our annual event at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds, a monumental gathering that provided thousands of children with backpacks brimming with essential supplies for the school year. The event went further, hosting 100 resource partners who offered vital services to support the well-being of the entire family, underscoring our belief that true community support is holistic and far-reaching.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $77,800<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): N\/A<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 1 year<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Greater Tampa Bay Area<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: Kids up to age 21<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr<br \/>\nContact First Name: Pat<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Simmons<br \/>\nContact Title: Founder<br \/>\nContact Phone: 813-533-9177<br \/>\nContact Email: pat@bikes4christ.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Bikes For Christ Legal Name (if Different): Bikes For Christ Inc Also Known As: Bikes 4 Christ Mailing Address: 2500 AL SIMMONS RD City: Dover State: FL Postal Code: 33527 Main Phone: 813-533-9177 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.bikes4christ.com\/ Employer ID Number: 82-2374095 Organization Tax Status: 501 (c) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9382"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9383,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9382\/revisions\/9383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
