One of the biggest struggles for those living in homelessness and poverty is transportation. But some folks here in Springfield are working to provide wheels for homeless and at-risk youth.

They may be mud-covered now, but the bikes at Rare Breed Youth Outreach Center will be transformed. "The flood kind of put a damper on our program," says Benjamin Tegeler, Rare Breed Outreach Center Program Coordinator.

They've been collecting donated bikes for homeless and at risk youth for more than a year, but the program has been bogged down since Christmas.

17 year old Doug Reynolds of Ozark says, "I wanted to do something where I could help the homeless population actually with bicycles, because it's so bad in Springfield. You see people walking."

Reynolds learned of Rare Breed's efforts, and with the help of a church group from Texas, got the bikes cleaned up.
