HELPING MOVE PEOPLE FORWARD

The Northwest Hub’s mission is to empower members of our community by providing access to transportation, technical skills training and income-based repair services.

OUR STRATEGY

TRANSPORTATION ACCESS

We believe one major factor in an individual's success in upward mobility is access to affordable and reliable transportation. What could be a more elegant solution than a bicycle? Members of the community in need of transportation can earn commuter packages which include a bicycle, helmet, lock and lights through one of the many programs offered at the Hub.

TECHNICAL SKILLS TRAINING

Volunteers that enter programs offered at the Hub often face barriers to employment. Whether through our Volunteer Purchase Program or one of our various other outreach endeavors, all volunteers and trainees will have the opportunity to learn technical and soft skills which will aid in transitional employment opportunities.

INCOME-BASED REPAIR SERVICES

A majority of our customers rely on their bikes for transportation. Lacking the resources to pay for necessary repairs can often leave someone stranded and unable to meet crucial commitments. We understand how essential a bike can be for someone’s livelihood, so we offer discounted repairs based on an individuals ability to pay.

PROGRAM SUSTAINABILITY

We sustain the bulk of our programs through sales and service to the general public. Many of the bikes that we sell on the floor are reclaimed bikes that have been donated by the community and refurbished by our team and volunteers. All sales and service at the Hub underwrite our outreach and help us continue to invest in our community; approximately $500,000 reinvested in Salem since 2015 through discounted sales, service and bike distribution.

We believe that every bicycle, like every person, has a history and deserves a future.

Thank you for helping create a better, more sustainable environment and thriving community through creative reuse. We are excited at the growth and impact we see in the lives of our trainees and neighbors who benefit from the support you help provide.
