Donate Used Bikes, Helmets For Rockville Kids On Friday

ROCKVILLE, MD — The Montgomery County Department of Transportation is sponsoring a bicycle donation event for all residents on Friday, Oct. 20, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside the Council Office Building parking garage at 100 Maryland Avenue in Rockville.

The county will accept used bicycles, bicycle parts, and bike helmets. All items collected will be donated to The Rockville Bike Hub, a non-profit organization whose volunteers refurbish the bikes and then donate them to low-income residents in the county, including Rockville’s Terrific Kids program and participants in the County’s Linkages to Learning program.

How Can You Help?

• Drop off one or more used bikes in any condition, bike parts, or helmets to the COB parking garage (next to the gas pumps) during the above time frame.
• Donate by check to Rockville Bike Hub during the collection. Donated funds will be used to purchase bike helmets and parts to repair the bikes. You can even include any donation you make toward your Charity Campaign contribution. Forms will be available at the collection to ensure you are appropriately credited as having participated in the campaign.
