Grand Endeavor Homes was excited to partner with the YMCA and Mary Bailey Head Start to bring holiday cheer. Spearheaded by volunteer Laura Kincheloe, volunteers gathered last month to assemble and present 50 bicycles to Georgetown children.
Laura grew up in Georgetown and says she always looked forward to a time when she could give back. “I dreamed of organizing a bike gifting program. As a nurse and mother of four, I am not a person with treasure, but I do have time and connections and am eager to serve,” she says. So Laura reached out to her high school friend Justin Jacobs who happily supported her efforts.
Now CEO of Grand Endeavor, Justin immediately expressed his excitement about the program. “We believe in making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work. The holiday season is all about giving, and when we heard about the opportunity to donate 50 bikes to children in Georgetown, we knew it was a perfect chance to bring joy to these families. We’re thrilled to be part of such a meaningful initiative and hope it creates lasting memories for both the kids and their families.”
This year marks the first bike gifting event, and it has been such a success that Grand Endeavor is already planning to continue the tradition annually. “Seeing the impact we’re making on these children’s lives is incredibly fulfilling, and we hope it continues to grow in the years to come,” Justin says. “I hope the bikes remind the children that they’re part of a community that cares about them.”
