WHAT: Can’d Aid and Journeys are partnering for their largest bike donation event ever in Nashville this month! More than 850 volunteers will build 1,200 bikes to be distributed to 8 Nashville schools next week.
Join us on March 22 to see how bikes are built, and on March 23 for a donation event at Jones Paideia Elementary School.
In 2021, Journeys and Can’d Aid worked together to donate more than 40,000 cans of emergency drinking water, 500 bikes and skateboards, and 650 art kits to the Nashville community. Journeys also supported Can’d Aid with its Donate at the Register program last year, making a total donation of $600,000 to support Can’d Aid’s nationwide programs.

WHY: Can’d Aid, a nonprofit headquartered in Longmont, Colo., is a national movement gathering people from all walks of life to become a catalyst for change in their communities! Why a bike build? Children average 7 hours of screen time per day and only 1 in 5 gets the daily recommended amount of exercise. Through its Treads + Trails program, Can’d Aid helps combat these troubling statistics. At a time when our nation’s youth are experiencing extreme levels of anxiety, depression and mental health issues, Can’d Aid’s programs provide healthy and active outlets for underserved and at-risk children in Nashville and across the country.
