About
Transparency
Welcome, thanks for stopping by, listed below is some information about their start, what they do, and what they want to achieve moving forward. Their highest priority is more funding for their various Veterans programs as they tackle Veterans with PTSD, food items and being homeless.
NOTE: If a name item has an asterisk (*), it's slated for expansion, if it is underlined, it's a hyperlink and goes to a corresponding page or website.
Bikersinc started out as a Veterans organization in 2012, and became a 501(c)(3) in 2013. Everyone involved is a volunteer, with no paid staff, nor do they receive any state, government grants or funding. Soon after, it became apparent that just a couple of programs were not enough so with them being the "square pegs in the round holes" kind of folks they naturally expanded.
Their volunteers are imbedded in the community, one example was on December 31, 2022, they collaborated with the "No Hunger Holidays" food and care package giveaway by Feed the Children. They distributed 400 holiday care packages to help children and families during the holidays and bring awareness to the important issue of childhood hunger in Indianapolis.
