Executive Director

Free Bikes 4 Kidz Atlanta is a nonprofit organization helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those most in need. We collect gently used bikes throughout the year in the metro Atlanta area. We organize hundreds of volunteers to clean and refurbish the bikes, and then we give them away to kids in need who are served by partner organizations in Atlanta. Founded in 2016, we are one of 22 independent affiliates of FB4K.
