Earnhardt Auto Centers Completes 2026 2nd Chance Bike and Food Drive

BIG HEARTS. BIG IMPACT. NO BULL!

Earnhardt Auto Centers and the Earnhardt family want to express their thanks for the incredible generosity of our Arizona community. Your support this year was overwhelming, and we know countless lives will be touched by your gifts.

At our 17 dealerships across Phoenix, our team happily spent the month of September collecting bikes and food items from area drivers. The 2nd Chance Bike and Food Drive was cosponsored by ABC15 Arizona and KTAR News 92.3.

Community donations support the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The organization is known for its food pantry network and its many other programs to help families and individuals in need. The St. Vincent de Paul Bike Shop collects used bikes and repairs them.

This year Earnhardt Auto Centers collected more than 1,000 bikes. That’s enough bikes to keep the shop busy for the next year! The official number was 1,096 second chances! What a great way to share, to recycle, and to make kids happy at the same time.

Once restored, children’s bikes are placed in the hands of kids eager to experience life on two wheels. Adult bikes are restored and given to teens who find freedom for the first time and to community members who need transportation for jobs and daily chores.

At the St. Vincent charity’s request, this was the first time we included a food drive, and we were eager to see it succeed. The final collection tally was more than 3,340 pounds of food. That is set to serve some 134 families, and it shows what a community can do when we work together.

THANK YOU, ARIZONA! Together we made a difference, one family at a time.

And that’s No Bull!
