Donate your old bike or accessories to benefit the youth programs and international development work of Bikes Not Bombs! The bike drive will be held at the First Parish on Saturday, May 6, from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. A $20 per bike donation is requested to cover the cost of shipping your bike.
Bikes Not Bombs is a local non-profit that uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change. Reclaiming thousands of used bicycles each year, BNB creates programs that provide skill development, jobs, and sustainable transportation for youth and adults.
In Boston, BNB staff and volunteers work with youth to provide support, build self-esteem, learn useful skills, and develop healthy lifestyles through innovative bicycle-based programs.
In addition, BNB ships hundreds of bikes to community projects in regions throughout the developing world to support micro-enterprise businesses, sustainable technology projects, and youth training programs..
Help BNB promote peace, social justice, and a sustainable environment by donating your unwanted bikes on May 6! This drive is sponsored by the Social Action Committee of the First Parish, and the Watertown Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee.
