About Us
Cool Water Bikes is a full-service, non-profit bicycle shop owned and operated by Cup of Cool
Water, a Christian
ministry working with Spokane’s street youth since 1995.
Homeless youth can work to earn a
refurbished donated
bicycle, which are also for sale to the public. All proceeds from sales and
service help support Cup of Cool Water’s
programs.
CWB uses bikes as a catalyst to build
relationships with
homeless youth, empowering them to become wholehearted followers of Christ and to exit street life.
Riding, repairing, and selling bikes side by side, mentors and homeless youth have the opportunity to experience the love and hope of Jesus Christ.
Youth can learn practical life skills and qualities like confidence, dedication, and respect and hear about the God who truly embodies those qualities and who promises to rescue them through His Son.
The shop is a safe working environment where they can ask questions, have one-on-one conversations, and practice healthy relationships.

Programs for CCW youth
Earn-A-Bike
Youth can work in our shop to earn a bicycle, lock, and helmet. The EAB program teaches youth to set goals, acquire new skills, and build consistency as they log hours towards their own bike.
Youth Intern Program
Interested youth can move beyond the EAB program to join the YIP, a part-time paid job in which they learn more about bicycle repair, sales, and general business skills. This program is still in the planning stage.
