Free Bikes 4 Kidz and Bayhealth Team Up to Host Local Bike Donation Drop-offs
Have a gently-used bike taking up space in your garage or shed? Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K) Delaware and founding and premier sponsor Bayhealth are hosting bike donation events where the public can drop off bikes: Saturday, May 18, 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. at DE Turf Sports Complex (Fields 1-3); and Saturday, May 25, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Bayhealth Total Care, 18383 Hudson Road, Milton and Bayhealth at Blue Hen at 651 Bay Road, Dover.
FB4K Delaware is a new chapter of the national nonprofit organization geared toward helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing donated bikes to those most in need. Last year FB4K Delaware donated more than 400 bikes to kids in need in Kent and Sussex counties.
“These bike donation efforts not only support kids and youth right here in our communities, but they also help curb waste by keeping bikes and parts out of landfills,” said Bayhealth Chief Wellness Officer and FB4K Delaware founder Dr. Tom Vaughan. “FB4K will organize volunteers to clean and fix up the used bikes, and then those bikes will be given away to non-profits and other charitable organizations who serve youth and children in our local area.”
