Brett Levy, Lead Pastor of City Church Georgetown, shared, “Christmas is a time where we see the generosity of God, and the church should be a reflection of that generosity. Plus, serving families is fun and you can’t beat that!”
More than 80 volunteers participated in the bike building event held in the Eagle Innovation Center (EIC) at Georgetown High School. Volunteers assembled bikes in teams of three to five for the first hour of the event, which was promptly followed by the main event – giving the bikes to the children.
Tamra Marbibi, Director of Federal and Special Programs Supports, Georgetown ISD, shared her thoughts, “This initiative is a wonderful example of community collaboration. Providing our students with bicycles not only brings joy but also promotes physical activity and independence. We are grateful to City Church Georgetown and Bikes for Goodness Sake for their generosity and commitment to our students’ well-being.”
Kenna Smith, Managing Director of Bikes for Goodness Sake, shared her thoughts, “It is incredibly rewarding for us to be able to partner with City Church Georgetown and Cooper Elementary School for this special event right here in our local community. Our mission is to share the love of riding bicycles with youth everywhere, and it is especially meaningful to have the opportunity to give back in our hometown.”
The event was about more than just bikes—it was about creating a sense of connection, giving back, and building a brighter future for children in the Georgetown community. “Let’s continue to come together to Give and Let Ride and make a lasting difference in the lives of children in our community and communities everywhere,” added Kenna Smith.
