BIKES FOR KIDS CONTINUES

In our continuing effort to support children all over the world, we began our first bikes-for-kids drive in 2012. In 2012, the bikes that were collected were shipped to the Philippines. They were shipped to a program called Bikes for the World.  Bicycles in the Philippines are used primarily by children to get to school. This has become especially important since the devastating cyclones that hit the Philippines late last year. This left even more children unable to go to school since local transportation was disrupted. Bicycles last, on the average, over fifty years in the Philippines! They are a valued and prized possession! We have decided to collect bicycles again this year for children in the Philippines. Bicycles can be dropped off at 66 Weston Rd., Westport, CT or 520 Pleasant Street, Marshfield Hills, MA on any Saturday, beginning December 1, 2014. Please call 617-962-1193 first or email mohonkct@aol.com to arrange a drop off. We can also arrange pickups. Tax deductible receipts will be provided for your donation.
