What Happens When Everything Stops?
Nine13sports uses a mobile programming model whereby we take bicycles into learning environments (schools, community centers, parks) and use them as learning tools throughout the year. As we’ve grown, this mobile delivery of our Kids Riding Bikes, Kids Building Bikes & ExploreIndy Ride programming has required significant investment over the first 9 years of our organizations history into vehicles and staff – assets that we sidelined as part of efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus in early March 2020. In 2018, we also made a move into a 25,000 sf commercial structure located in the Near Northwest neighborhoods that serves as our Operations Depot.
As a result, our team started to provide logistical support for initiatives led by these organizations to ensure efficient food distribution to food pantries, other agencies that started temporary food pantry operations, as well individuals across the city that are unable to leave their homes.
As our Home and Agency Delivery initiatives continue month after month our promise to our partners has been “We will keep doing this as long as there is a need.” Nine13 Logistics was created as the newest division of Nine13 Inc. and specializes in creating and implementing complex operational solutions to address the needs of our customers.
