“Bikes for All” is entering its fifth Fall season of collecting, refurbishing and distributing the generous contributions of bicycles of all sizes. Over 282 children and adults have been able to enjoy their recycled bicycles throughout the past four years. Each bicycle was refurbished, equipped with a bell and lights as each rider was fitted with a helmet to ensure safe riding. We are thankful to all of you in the tri-town area who responded to our call for gently used bicycles.
And we’re here once again, requesting that you respond to our need for gently used bicycles with 20-inch or greater wheels. On Sunday, September 14th from 1pm to 3pm, bikes can be dropped off at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church, located at 27 Church Street, in the Barstow Street parking lot, which is across from the Center School. If you are unable to bring your bike to us, we’ll arrange to meet you by contacting Jane Finnerty at 631-312-2560 or email Jane.mattrail@gmail.com.
We hope you will keep us in mind if you’re thinking about replacing your bike or you or your children have outgrown their bikes. We know from many of our families who have been enjoying their recycled bikes that biking is making a positive difference in their lives.
Bikes for All is a program of the Friends of the Mattapoisett Bicycle and Recreational Path. As a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization, contributions to “Bikes for All” are tax-deductible.
