Members of Bloomington-Normal Thrive Rotary joined nearly 200 community volunteers at the 10th Annual Bed Blitz at YouthBuild McLean County in Bloomington, helping build and deliver approximately 130 beds for local children in need. Organized by the West Bloomington Revitalization Project (WBRP), the event brings together volunteers, community partners, and donors to ensure children in the Bloomington-Normal area have a safe and comfortable place to sleep. In addition to bed frames, families receive essential bedding and other supportive items to help create a healthy home environment.

One more Bed Blitz 2026 donor! Today, we are sharing our appreciation for Our Redeemer Lutheran Church for its financial support.

Our Redeemer Lutheran Church's mission is to welcome people to faith, help people grow in the faith that works in real life, and serve the community and the world together in Jesus’ name.

Thank you, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, for your generosity!

Meet our Bike of the Week! You'll get looks of admiration from Dan and Claude in this Sun EZ-Tri Classic recumbent trike. It is a comfortable and stable ride. We have two for sale, one blue and one maroon, so you can even ride with a friend!

Come by the Bike Co-Op to give it a look, and check out our selection of other used, refurbished, and affordably priced bikes! We’re open Tuesdays 11:30-4, Thursdays 4-7, and Saturdays 9-1.

A special thank you to and for supporting the 2026 Bed Blitz team! We are so excited for the build this Saturday!!!
