“If you need help with your life and you’re willing to put in the work, BronxWorks is the place to be. They take the time with you to connect you with financial information and assistance, therapy, jobs, and all sorts of things. I’ve learned not only how to become a better father but a better person overall.”

-Quincy J., BronxWorks Participant

“It is one of the best decisions that I have ever made as a parent, bringing them here [to BronxWorks].”

The TD Five Boro Bike Tour

Two cyclists stand under an archway with the TD Five Boro Bike Tour logo on it.

We are still looking for team members! Contact us to get involved!!

Join #TeamBronxWorks!

BronxWorks is once again a charity partner in the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, America’s largest cycling event.  On Sunday, May 4, 2025, tens of thousands of people will ride over 40 miles of car-free streets through all five boroughs in New York City.

Riders for #TeamBronxWorks fundraise for children’s programs at our shelters for homeless families. The stress of homelessness affects children in a profound way, impacting their physical and mental health, school performance, and overall development. The recreational and educational activities in our programs expand their world beyond the daily challenges of being homeless and can counteract some of the negative impacts.

When you fundraise for #TeamBronxWorks at the Bike Tour, you commit to raising a minimum of $750.

Join #TeamBronxWorks or support our riders here.

Thank you again to our 2024 Bike Tour Team!

Through the efforts of our riders, #TeamBronxWorks raised over $15,000!
