Every Thursday evening this summer at Austin Park, from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM during the Care-A-Van Ministries Community cookout, Ride to Recovery  a local ministry is providing free bicycle repairs and tune ups for kids. Richard Ohlson, founder of the ministry shared with us that on the first week at the park he and his volunteers fixed 6 bikes that had no brakes.

Ride to Recovery is a non profit organization that aims to share the love of Jesus Christ with todays  youth using mountain bikes as a tool. They have many events throughout the year including a yearly camp in August for the kids. The majority of kids attend camp on scholarships provided by private donations to the ministry.

If you are handy with bikes and would like to volunteer for this outreach with Rich and his team  give Rich a call at 585-993-2180.
