Pedals for Progress Used Bicycle and Sewing Machine Collection

Pedals for Progress Bike and Sewing Machine Collection

Pedals for Progress will hold its 13th annual Granby bike collection sponsored by Jackie Johnson on Saturday, May 24th from noon to 3 p.m.,
rain or shine, at Holcomb Farm, 113 Simsbury Road. Anyone with an adult or
child’s bicycle in working or repairable condition is encouraged to donate it
to this great cause. We are also collecting working sewing machines.

For more than 20 years, Pedals for Progress has prevented
over 140,000 bikes from entering our waste stream. Instead, families are living
better lives because they have the simple mobility of a bicycle.

The cost to collect, process, ship, rebuild, and distribute
each bicycle is $40. A $10 minimum donation toward shipping costs in requested
with each bike or sewing machine, and any additional donations are greatly
appreciated to cover the increasing cost of shipping. All cash and material
donations are fully tax deductible and a receipt will be available at the collection
site.  Pedals for Progress is a 501
c (3) corporation and a registered charity in Connecticut. For more information
