Naw. Inner city and urban core kids can come in to the shop, donate a certain amount of time, take a safety course, and essentially "earn a bike." They learn to do the work themselves and pick from a selection of used rides that need to be repaired. They accept donations of used bikes which then get re-furbed and sold to cover the costs of the program. The big push is alternative and human-powered transportation. They're a good group just getting started and I offered to help out with some of the French-threaded donations. You may have seen a thread of mine from a month or so back where I posted a nice long-sleeved wool jersey that I picked up on the cheap - I got it from this same group.
