Looking for volunteer opportunities in the Des Moines or Cedar Rapids area? 

You've come to the right place! Variety - the Children's Charity depends on the generosity and goodwill of people who devote their time and energies to helping children.   

Host a bike build

Host a Bike Build

Bikes go hand in hand with being a kid, but for many children in our community, the prospect of having their own bike is only a dream. Variety helps make that dream a reality by partnering with Bike World Iowa to provide bikes, helmets, and locks to children throughout Iowa. These bikes arrive in boxes and need to be assembled, which creates an opportunity for your company or organization to sponsor, build, and present 50-200 bikes! Please contact Alexa Lord, director of programs, to schedule your bike build. 

Please note this volunteer opportunity is only at certain times of the year when bikes are available to be built.
