Your Old Bike or Sewing Machine Can Change a Life
Do you have a bike or a sewing machine that’s taking up space and collecting dust? Set it free to bring hope and opportunity to someone in the developing world. Bring it to the annual Pedals for Progress collection on September 23rd, hosted by the Green Mountain Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. Since 1998 the group has collected more than 3,500 bikes and 250 sewing machines for projects in Ghana, Vietnam, Fiji, Moldova, Nicaragua and several other countries.

WHEN: Saturday, September 23rd, 2017 9am - 1pm
WHERE: Former Kmart Parking lot, 947 Shelburne Rd, South Burlington
DONATION: We request a tax-deductible $10 donation with each bike or sewing machine to help defray the cost of shipping. We provide a receipt for the value of your donation.

No bike or sewing machine to donate? Like us on Facebook at Pedals for Progress Vermont, spread the word about the event to co-workers, neighbors and friends; or volunteer to help on September 23rd
