BIKES FOR HUMANITY PDX (B4HPDX) will hold a bicycle donation and adoption drive on Saturday, December 17 and Sunday, December 18 from 10AM - 5PM in the parking lot of the Safeway at 17779 Lower Boones Ferry Road in Lake Oswego, OR.
Bicycles available for adoption include road, mountain, commuter, cruiser, BMX and kid's bikes. Suggested adoption fees for these refurbished bikes range from $5 to $400. Financial aid and work-trade agreements are available to meet a wide range of adopter needs.
B4HPDX will also accept donations of used bicycles during the event. B4HPDX volunteer mechanics will be on hand to refurbish some donated bikes for same-day adoption. Donations of youth bikes are especially needed. Charitable contribution receipts are available for all donations. Bikes for Humanity PDX is fiscally sponsored by ImpactNW, a 501(c)3 non-profit.
This is Bikes for Humanity PDX's fourth Donation & Adoption event this year. Since May 2011, the all-volunteer organization has refurbished over 100 bicycles, and made them available to new owners of all ages and economic levels. During the summer, B4HPDX volunteers offered free bike tune-ups to hundreds of people at seven public events including the Portland Sunday Parkways in Southeast and Northeast Portland.
Founded in 2008, B4HPDX has worked in partnership with local organizations including Girl Scouts of Lake Oswego and the Community Cycling Center to collect and distribute donated bikes. Throughout the year, Bikes for Humanity PDX offers bike repair classes, workshop space, and community service opportunities.
