Helping Build Bikes for Tikes

Working with Pasco, Washington’s Local Union 598, its members, and other community leaders, Les Schwab store managers in Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, and Oregon’s Umatilla County were proud to be a part of Bikes for Tikes again this year. We were among the 400 volunteers who helped build and deliver nearly 2,000 bicycles for kids throughout the region.

“The crews building all those bikes worked so hard,” stated Casey Fewkes, Les Schwab Store Manager in Yakima. “We enjoyed pumping up all those tires and being part of the comradery and giving spirit.”

It took less than four hours for the army of volunteers to uncrate and assemble the bikes and unpack the helmets, which were then delivered by Marines Toys for Tots.
