“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Education and Outreach: Bike Not Bombs Education and Outreach program coordinates all of the Organization's communications with supporters and volunteers (monthly e-news, social media, etc.) and organizes a number of events and programs (including the annual Bike-A-Thon) that engage people in Bikes Not Bomb's work and programs. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Bike Collection: Our programs start with our bike collections. We collect around 5,000 bikes each year all of which are sorted, flattened, and inventoried by our youth and volunteers. We receive bike donations in three main ways: 1) Bikes are dropped off at our Bike Shop in Jamaica Plain; 2) We drive a truck all throughout the State to do pickups; and 3) We partner with folks in urban and suburban communities to host Bike Drives. It is pretty amazing to see all those bikes piled up in our space and all the opportunities they represent for the people we serve. At any time, you could visit our warehouse in Dorchester and find close to 1,000 bikes sorted and ready to go.”
