We have already had a few warm spring days and that means people are out and about. Some of us are pulling our bikes out of the garage or shed only to realize that you might have outgrown the bike. Some of us might be ready to purchase a new bike. So the question is, what do you do with your old bike? Well, please consider donating your old bike to our annual bike drive with our ministry partners at NicaBikes on Saturday, April 23rd. Over the years, New Hope Church and Silo Center has donated thousands of bikes that are shipped to Nicaragua where orphaned teens and at-risk young Nicaraguans who are trained to repair and sell them, along with learning the basics of running a small business. Not only will your donation help these orphaned teens and at-risk youth to ascend out of poverty, 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.
