our mission
Open Heart Outlaws is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving working-class families going through hell.
We’re a boots on the ground bunch, willing to embrace the mess that good people find themselves in — when it’s not their fault, but happens to be their turn — we’re here to swing back when life throws a punch.
26.6%
Approximately 26.6% of Rochester's residents live below the poverty line—more than double the national average of 11.1%.
we ride with purpose
Our organization was founded by riders and is funded by the miles they ride. Yep, we’re rough around the edges, but we also know how to get things done. Through a network of sponsors, we are able to raise $1 for every mile we ride.
You bring the passion, we bring the purpose. Put those miles to good use and join us today as an affiliate rider. You’re not joining a motorcycle club, you’re joining a movement for good.
52%
52% of working class-families in NY report struggling to pay medical bills and as of 2023, approximately 740,000 families had medical debt.
Core Values
Generosity
We give big, love loud, and serve hard—no strings attached. When we show up, we show out. Our mission is powered by reckless, relentless giving to people who need it most.
Boldness
We don’t tiptoe—we ride in loud and unapologetic. We’re not afraid of the mess, the grit, or doing things differently if it means making a real impact.
Authenticity
No fluff. No filter. We are who we are—real people doing real good for real reasons. Helping others isn’t a brand play; it’s the heart of who we are.
Empathy
We meet people where they’re at—emotionally, physically, spiritually. We don’t just drop off a check and bounce. We get in the trenches with people and stay until change happens.
Impact
We focus on one story at a time, because deep change starts small. No wide-net charity work here—we fight for the one, not just the many.
