DARTS is a community-based nonprofit that connects senior citizens to services and partnerships that improve their quality of life, help them age well, and enable them to engage in their community. DARTS creates connections that enrich aging, providing a network of valuable information and resources to people of all ages and fosters the health of the community by helping people remain active and connected to one another.  www.dartsconnects.org

KIDS 'N KINSHIP is a private non-profit organization that matches children who have a need for an additional supportive relationship with carefully screened adult volunteers.  Once a match has been made, volunteers spend 1-4 hours per week with the child.  Typical activities might include picnicking, attending sporting events, sharing interests or going to the movies.  Volunteers make a one-year commitment to the program.  These relationships often grow into  life-long friendships. We serve children in the communities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount. See more at: www.kidsnkinship.org/

NOW SEEKING BIKE DONATIONS for 2026 sale!

Rick Anderson is seeking bicycle donations for his 18th annual sale benefiting two Dakota County nonprofit organizations: Kids 'n Kinship and DARTS (info below), which get 100% of net proceeds, over HALF A MILLION dollars so far! We are very big on using recycled parts but sometimes we need to spend a bit on tires, tubes and kickstands.                                      Our total expense is just 6% of receipts.

If that good-condition bike (we accept all types/sizes!) is collecting dust in the corner of the garage, consider donating it to a great cause . See the DONATE page to get hold of Rick & friends and donate a bike!

HELP  NEEDED !   Interested in helping clean bikes, refurbishing them (we provide all tools & can help you learn!), or helping on bike sale date? Contact us!
