Donate to send Recycle-A-Bicycle to New Orleans
There's a great program called Recycle-A-Bicycle, an independent
organization dedicated to youth development, environmental education, recycling and bicycle transportation in New York City. A local New Orleans non-profit bicycle project, Plan B, received donations of over 600 used bicycles for residents adversely affected by the hurricane. Plan B is a community-run bike project that functions as an open workspace for bicycle repair as well as a bike shop that sells recycled bicycles. Its building remained intact, and volunteers are struggling to refurbish the large volume of donated bikes to put back on the street as quickly as possible. The majority of these bicycles are not in working order and require an average of 2 hours/bike to make them safe. As bikes are completed, they are offered to the people of New Orleans for a nominal fee of $15. NY Recycle-A-Bicycle mechanics are taking time off from work, and donating their time to help Plan B meet its mission. We estimate that each mechanic will repair at least 5 bikes per day. If we raise enough money to send 10 mechanics, we will be able to repair 350 bicycles for the people of New Orleans. The cost of sending each mechanic to New Orleans is $500 for travel and food. We hope to raise $25/bike to cover the cost of repair materials. This sets our total budget at $13,750. Please help the New Orleans Bike Build Project reach this goal with a non-profit donation through the Internet or by mail at the address noted below. Your support is tax-deductible. Please donate through the Network for Good: http://partners.guidestar.org/contro...ein=11-3422028 |
