The Everybody Eats Model
Our model at Biked Goods closely aligns with the African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child.” Meaning an entire community of people must provide for and interact positively with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.
The Everybody Eats Model is a sustainable way for our collective community to take action and invest in their own health while making a lasting impact on the lives of young people.
The Problem
The Current Status of Health In Young People
Young people are living at risk, with obesity and food insecurity that can lead to social, physical and mental challenges as they grow into adulthood.
17+ Million
at Risk Children
An at-risk youth is a child who is less likely to transition successfully into adulthood. Success can include academic success and job readiness, as well as the ability to be financially independent.
15 million
children Are obese
About 14.7 million children and adolescents present as obese. That’s 1 out of every 5 children. Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States, putting children and adolescents at risk for poor health.
9 million
children are food insecure
1 in 8 kids in the United States are living with hunger. Households that are food insecure are those that struggled to provide enough food for everyone living there at some point during the year.
How It Works
Biked Goods is a community of cyclists, athletes, families, food enthusiasts, businesses, and non-profits who believe we can make a lasting difference in our own lives and the lives of youth through quality nutrition and the power of the bicycle.
Biked Goods provides a variety of cycling and nutrition services, products and events that help propel our community forward in their own personal endeavors.
In return, 10% of their investment (sales) from Biked Goods purchases, along with community contributions and fundraisers, go towards the Biked Goods Cookie Jar Fund to help fuel affordable, equitable nutrition and cycling programs for youth, especially those that are most in need.
