MAVERICK CHARITIES

Since September 2019, Maverick Bikes and Maverick Charities have worked side-by-side to enable people in our community and around the world by bike.  Our no bike left behind policy takes in donation bikes of any condition from YOU - our local community - and turns them around again for those in need: from Leesburg to Rwanda to Ecuador and beyond.

Donation to Bikes For the World

29 APRIL 2024

Maverick Charities completed our second donation of 2024 with our new partners: Bikes For the World.  


This load was 116 bicycles headed to Africa and South America for those in need.  

A special thanks to YOU: local Virginians.  Our customers and friends.  For providing the donation bikes and helmets that enable those who need it most.

We are proud to continue our no bike left behind policy by enabling people with freedom by bicycle worldwide.

Benefiting Maverick Charities

March 17, 2023

Maverick Bikes and Cafe’s mission is to help provide Loudoun County Public School elementary and middle school students with bicycles to ride. They fix donated bikes and provide them to students that have been identified as financially needy. Helmets, safety lights, and locks are also included to ensure that bikes are secured and operated safely.

Bike donations are also currently being accepted at Maverick’s shop in Leesburg (32C Catoctin Circle SE). Call Maverick at 703-777-6126 with any questions, including if bikes are in suitable condition to donate.

Maverick also helps provide needy adults in the community with bicycles for transportation to and from jobs, especially to those who have recently been incarcerated or have transitioned into a halfway house and need viable transportation. They also accept donations for local food banks and help preserve Loudoun County’s historic network of Civil War era dirt roads.
