The team at Free Bikes 4 Kidz Minnesota is assembling. We don’t yet have a definite new home for our 2022 season (but plans are in the works!), so we’re mostly working virtually to get all our ducks…er, BIKES in a row for a successful season.
Our new volunteer coordinator, David Zeller, has our volunteer calendar up and ready for October and November, so as you’re looking ahead to a terrific fall, please consider signing up to work a cleaner, prepper or mechanic shift with us. Got a contact for a group? Reach out to David here, and he’ll find a time to accommodate your team, friend group, co-workers, faith community, and more.
Before we can really get going on our regular season though, we need to host a successful Collection Day! Our presenting sponsor, Allina Health, is once again helping us collect 1,000s of bikes in a single day: Saturday, October 8. We need volunteers to help unload and sort all those bikes as they come in, and you can sign up here. Know someone with a gently-used, rider-ready bike to donate? You can direct them to Allina’s website to see a list of locations that will be accepting bikes on October 8.
It costs Free Bikes 4 Kidz Minnesota about $35 to collect, clean, refurbish, and distribute a bike. When you donate, you make it possible for more children to receive bikes and access the health benefits, freedom, and FUN that a bike allows. Thank you for your generosity!
