Last year, the Village Bicycle Project – which sends no-longer-needed bicycles to people who need them – collected bikes in West Seattle. This year, WSB’er Linda says, they’re collecting in Georgetown, but still hoping West Seattleites can help out. She shared this announcement:

Round up those unused bikes and support a good cause!!! The Village Bicycle Project, which ships bikes to Africa where for many it is their only mode of transportation, will be doing a bike loading on Saturday, September 24th in Georgetown and is looking for help. You can drop off bikes at Total Reclaim (also known now as Ecolight – 1915 South Corgiat Drive). Help is also needed with loading the bikes headed to Ghana, starting at 9 AM til we are done, hopefully by 5PM. This event is happening, rain or shine! As always, we offer good wholesome hard work and lots of fun. Packing bikes tight and closing the big double doors is always cause for celebration! Bike prepping will be inside. Munchies will be provided. Bring a water bottle, and a friend. Bring closed toe shoes and bike tools if you have them. RSVP’s and/or questions to meg@villagebicycleproject.org or phone 206-853-7813.
