Bikes for All has continued with its mission to make sure that everyone who wants a bike can get one. Throughout the past two and a half years, generous donations from our community members have enabled our volunteers to refurbish over 150 bicycles. With the help of school counselors and local non-profits, the bikes have been distributed to children and adults throughout Mattapoisett, Rochester, Marion, Fairhaven and New Bedford.
Our Fall Bikes for All bike drive is this Saturday, September 23rd from 9 to 11 am. Please bring your donation to Center School, Barstow Street, Mattapoisett. We are in need of gently used bikes, particularly children’s bikes, that you would like to donate.
The next step is refurbishing the donated bikes. A welcome addition to the refurbishing efforts this past Spring was made by students from Tabor Academy who helped refurbish bikes as part of their community service,
Once again, the Bikes for All team is seeking gently used bikes. Please, none with excessive rust or damage. Interested in helping our repair efforts? Contact Jane Finnerty at JANE.MATTRAIL@gmail.com or call 508-758-4548. Cash donations for parts and safety accessories are welcome.
