Community Services/Non-Profits in Elyria, OH

“The Elyria Bicycle Center was founded about 7 years by Ed Stewart and some other bicycle enthusiasts. They started out across the street in a very small space and then had the opportunity to buy the former hardware store owned by Phil Stamitti for decades. This place is staffed by all volunteers.

I was walking around my old neighborhood and stopped in to see their new digs. Talk about a well organized place! Around 300 bikes in the back to be worked on. Probably 40 in the front showroom for sale at very reasonable prices. All the bike parts were well organized and stored in the back. I am a bike enthusiast for 7 decades and recognize the good work these folks are doing.”

“I been going to Goodwill since January. Met amazing teachers Rick and Bart, they do the digital technical program. Before i took my summer semester as a college student. My teachers help me know deeper about computers. Beside it FREE, not the one i have to pay out pocket for summer. When i did finally when back to school my teacher taught me what I already know including Google (everything about google). Me already knowing digital technical by Goodwill help me pass my computer class in college. Goodwill is more than just a industrial and store. It's Missionaries business that help with Job search, computer programs, youth programs, homeless programs, and more. Goodwill help those that want to help themselves to progress with help of resources Goodwill is willing to provide. Stop saying there are no programs that will help you. Make Goodwill your first options and be ready to go work.”
