Team ImprovingIT is back for another year of Ride for RAN!
We're not just pedaling for a great cause—we're riding for an organization we proudly support year-round. As Ruth & Naomi's Mission's IT support partner, we see daily how technology enables their life-changing work in our Chilliwack community.
About ImprovingIT: We specialize in providing IT solutions for charities and non-profits, understanding that reliable technology is essential for organizations making a difference. We also serve for-profit businesses, but our heart is with mission-driven organizations that strengthen our communities.
Why we ride: Supporting RAN goes beyond our professional partnership—it's personal. We believe in their mission to transform lives through practical care and genuine love. Every day, RAN serves 300+ hot meals, provides 44+ emergency shelter beds, maintains 59 supportive housing rooms, and offers 36 affordable family apartments. Their addiction recovery programs for both men and women, combined with wrap-around family services, clothing distribution, health clinic, and nightly community dinners create a comprehensive support network that addresses the root causes of homelessness and addiction.
Our team is gearing up for September 20, 2025, ready to tackle various distances and unite our pedal power for maximum impact. Whether you're supporting our individual riders or Team ImprovingIT as a whole, every donation helps put food on plates, keeps lights on in safe housing, and funds recovery journeys that break cycles of poverty and addiction.
Join us in turning technology expertise and cycling passion into community transformation.
Your support makes the difference—thank you for riding with us!
