Wheels for Kids Program, Bethel, CT
Got this email last night and if anyone has a kids bike they can donate, that would be great!
Hello Friends,
See the link in the e-mail below. At the 11th hour CBC came up with modest funds to save this program, barely in time for Christmas. Normally by 5 December the program would have already collected and refurbished a good portion of what would be distributed this holiday. Because the program was given last rites, we are scrambling to get it on track in very little time. I am writing to local and fairly local people with two requests:
1. This weekend, please check your garage and basement. Talk to your neighbors and friends. We want to collect more bikes for donation. In priority order of need: boys 20” wheel BMX style bikes, youth mountain bikes, girls 20” wheel bikes, trikes/sidewalk bikes. Any condition is fine. We will overhaul those that are worthy, take parts from others. (Adult bikes are also welcome, will be used for Danbury Youth Services other, non holiday program: Earn a Bike.) Please bring these bikes to Cannondale on Monday or Tuesday. Or over the weekend: just leave bikes near the back door of 16 Trowbridge Drive.
2. Some of you like to work on bikes. You are invited to toss your tools in the car and come on over next Wednesday evening and turn wrenches. Free beer/pizza, old friends, new friends, a good bike buzz and real Christmas spirit are guaranteed. Those of you who have portable bike repair stands, please bring them.
Thanks very much, David
