Recreation and Parks Commissioners Al Howe and Dave Tresohlavy deliver a batch of 20 bikes assisting in their goal of 100 donated bikes by the end of October. Hilton-Parma Recreation is teaming with R Community Bikes and community members of Make a Difference Day to coordinate a bike collection program. R Community Bikes collects and repairs used bikes for distribution free of charge to Rochester’s most needy children and adults and Make a Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others.
Bicycles can be someone’s precious new bike once R Community Bikes completes their refurbishing process. Donations will be tax deductible and the donated bikes or bike parts can be any condition as everything collected will be 100 percent recyclable. To donate old bikes to a new home, call H-P Recreation at 392-9030 to arrange a convenient pick-up time or drop off your bike on Saturday, October 27 at the local Make a Difference Day event at Hilton High School from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
