Got a bike or a sewing machine 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 sponsored by members of the Green Mountain
Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. Since 1999, we've shipped more than 3,000
bikes and 100 sewing machines from Chittenden County to self-help projects
on 5 continents.
*WHEN:* Saturday, September 26th, 9am - 1pm
*WHERE:* Parking lot of Faith United Methodist Church, 899 Dorset Street,
South Burlington
*DONATION:* We request a tax-deductible $10 donation with each bike or
sewing machine to help defray the cost of shipping. You will receive a
receipt for $10 plus the value of the donated item.
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 and
friends; or volunteer your help on the 26th.
This message is posted by Nancy Baker and Brian Flynn to encourage you to participate in the annual Pedals for Progress bike and sewing machine roundup. Your generosity directly impacts the lives of others.
