Wanted: Kids bikes for donation to needy
With familys being down and out in so many cases today, I am putting together a bicycle donation program for grade school through high school kids. Bikes do not need to be in new condition, but in nice respectable condition.
Particulars:
1) Six to ten bicycles donated
2) Yes you can receive a reciept for tax deduction through 'Ritas Place'. A full and accountable non-profit organization.
3) Bike Sizes: grade school through high school
4) As for repair of bikes, Momentum Bike-Hike-Board in Sandy will be doing the mechanical clean up. I and others will be doing the physical clean up of the bikes.
5) Helmets will be handed out with the bikes.
6) We are asking the families to chip in money for a lock. Fact is known, if the kids have a little skin in the game, they will take much more pride in their bicycle.
Any thoughts and or ideas are grealy appreciated. And of course bicycles.
Thank you to all in advance.
