Bike Drive

Warm spring days and the hint of summer make us want to be outside walking, biking, and soaking up the sun. Some of you have probably already started cleaning out your garage or shed in anticipation of getting those bicycles on the road! But what if you have bikes that you have outgrown, or maybe you want a new one? What do you do with the old bike? We’ve got you covered!

We are again partnering with NicaBikes to hold a bike drive at New Hope on Saturday, April 27th, from 10 am – 4 pm. Over the years, New Hope Church and Silo Center have donated thousands of bikes that are shipped to Nicaragua. NicaBikes has two shops where orphaned teens and at-risk young Nicaraguans are trained to repair and sell the bikes and learn the basics of running a small business. Not only will your donation help provide opportunities for skill training and jobs, but it will also help fund the orphanage and local community through bike shop profits.

Any size, any color, any condition (yes, even bikes broken beyond repair that can be stripped for parts). If it has a wheel, we will take it! Don’t have an unneeded bike in your garage? Consider buying inexpensive bikes at local thrift stores or yard sales and donating them during this collection, or ask neighbors if they’d like to clean out their garage.
