Bike Project Plans Giveaway

Alliance Bank has made a contribution in support of Community Bikes, a project that collects and refurbishes donated bicycles and places them with families in the community who can't afford them.  

"We're pleased to support this important community project," said Matt Norris, Hamilton Branch Manager (left in photo).

Community Bikes will host a bike giveaway day on April 10, with a goal of placing up to 500 bikes with families in the community who need a bike but can't afford one.  Recipients also receive a helmet and lock.  

Project Coordinator Chuck Fox (right in photo) said that volunteers are needed to help service, clean and prepare bikes in advance of the giveaway.  

"We welcome those who know how to service bikes, or would like to learn, as well as groups or organizations interested in community service who can schedule a few hours to help clean and ready bikes," said Fox.  He added that donations of bikes and funding are also needed.

Those interested in helping can contact Community Bikes at 824-8210.  

Those interested in receiving a bike, or who know of someone who can use a bike, can contact Community Action Partnership at 684-7862 ext. 41.
