I have been volunteering at Can'd Aid events with my colleagues for well over a year now. The relationships my team has built amongst Can'd Aid, our community, and each other have been invaluable. My favorite part of volunteering with Can'd Aid is seeing the direct impact we have on our community. We have built bikes and skateboards that were donated to our local underserved youth with the goal of educating, inspiring and empowering them to lead healthy, active lives. Seeing the joy and excitement rush over the children's faces when finding out they were each able to take their own bike or skateboard home with them is a memory I will not soon forget. Can'd Aid is doing amazing work and it is always a pleasure to volunteer with them.
Come to Vermont, Can'd Aid. I love working with Can'd Aid and volunteer whenever I get the chance. I've volunteered at a skateboard build and at an art kitting event where the supplies and decorated bags went to children in Foster Care. I'm looking forward to volunteering in the future. Please come to VT!
I came to a bike build and it was amazing to see how many people came together to do something nice for the youth in the Boston area. I’m excited for future projects and looking forward to helping in any ways that I can. Really great people behind the scenes here who really want to help the people who need it most.
I was introduced to Can’d Aid through a dear friend and immediately fell in love with their multifaceted mission of helping underserved youth through a volunteer network. When I heard about their community driven bike builds, I was hooked! Bringing together volunteers to build bikes which are then distributed to youth within their community has a real, positive and long lasting impact. The reaction of the children says it all! They have engineered a simple but effective way to bring community together to make a difference in children’s lives. That’s why I donate!
I am a monthly donor and recently attended my first bike build event in Braintree, MA. It was well run, very organized, and fun! The mission of this organization is unique, inspiring and joyful. I was happy to be a part of it and plan to volunteer at skate board and bike builds in the future.
I began working with Can'd Aid in their early years, helping with hurricane relief projects and have been able to watch them evolve into so much more. I love that their vision has broadened from disaster relief to helping people and communities in so many ways.
They gather volunteers to give back in their communities by cleaning rivers and trails, painting vibrant murals, building bikes and skateboards for young kids to get off their screens, get outside and be active, donating music and art supplies to encourage their talents and creativity, as well as recycling programs to remember the importance of reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Being able to work within different communities across the country has been an absolute blessing and I look forward to seeing how giving back and doing good makes everyone feel a sense of accomplishment and joy. We all believe small acts really do add up to make a ripple into the community further than you can even imagine. It's a wonderful place to be!
Recently I went to a bike build event in Boston, it was amazing! What a terrific concept! The event was so well run, the energy is contagious. The real reward is seeing the video of the kids. Kids so grateful, polite and appreciative! One little girl was already planning on giving the bike to her cousin when she grows out of it. I love being a monthly donor to such a great company.
Can'd Aid is an organization with an incredible mission. I was proud to donate to them as they have been able to help so many communities through their efforts. Their organization has an immediate and direct impact on the people that they reach as well as long lasting effects. As a teacher I am most impressed by their ability to bring art and music to students who would otherwise not have access to those programs.
I found Can'd Aid during a web search a few months ago. After reading their website I discovered just how refreshing and unique they are, so much so, that I became a monthly donor. They have this integrated approach that creates a feel good and give back circle of kindness that only continues to grow. They help our youth, the environment, and engage community involvement through volunteers. They Just really touched my heart.
