💬 Volunteer Spotlight

🚲 Meet Marcus — From Fixing Bikes to Building Community

When I first started volunteering, I just wanted to learn how to fix my own bike. Now I’m helping in rides, meeting neighbors, and seeing how something as simple as showing up can change a whole block’s energy. It feels good to be part of something that gives back.
