Long Bike Ride - Operation Elf Box

Donation protected
Josh Hart is a lover of humanity, a social entrepreneur, a humble servant, and an optimistic adventurer. He is the Founder of Operation Elf Box, a non-profit organization based in Bend Oregon.  Every year he organizes a toy-drive and opens 'free toy stores' inviting families to shop complimentary and by appointment, those who need a little extra love at Christmas time. In addition, he produces two annual events. 'Celebrate' is attended by women affected by domestic violence. 'The 12 Bands of Christmas' is a free Christmas party that brings the entire community together. With the help of thousands, together they have distributed over 50,000 gifts to more than 8,300 children, those who may have otherwise gone without. Josh Hart is a giver, finding it difficult to ask for help for himself. He has worked diligently towards accomplishing this mission for over a five years. He's been without a permanent home, surfing sofas, and sometimes living out of his car. Despite these challenges, he has consistently made a tremendous impact on our communities with very little monetary resources. You can make dreams come true by making a contribution, supporting his long bike ride. Josh will be sharing the mission and vision of Operation Elf Box on a 3100 mile journey from coast to coast with his faithful border collie, Shoeless Jo. On March 1st, Josh Hart and his TurboPup, will emBARK on an epic adventure, pedaling a bicycle from San Diego to St Augustine, Florida. It would be impossible without your generous support.
