TriMet donation

January 8, 2012

For the past 3 years, we’ve been getting bikes periodically from TriMet that have been abandoned on their property. We’ve even reunited a couple with their previous rider and are happy to do so.

We thank TriMet for their first donation of 2012, 22 bikes that are on the way to rolling in the community once again!

Adopt-A-Bike Project a rolling success!

The “Adopt-A-Bike” project for 2011 has come to a successful conclusion.

We are especially thankful for support from local businesses, including, Lupe’s Escape, Raccoon Lodge, Earth Oven Pizza, MentorGraphics, and SolarWorld USA!
Final Numbers:

Amount raised – $3, 806
Bikes “adopted” 30 elementary school children, 17 children in foster care, 2 high schoolers and 1 adult employee whose only transportation is a bicycle, and 1 child and 2 homeless adults from 2 local churches. Total 53
The remaining funds will help us further our education and outreach programs to underserved communities in Washington County
