NOW SEEKING BIKE DONATIONS!

Rick Anderson is seeking bicycle donations for his 16th annual sale benefiting two Dakota County nonprofit organizations: Kids ‘n Kinship (which matches adult mentors with kids in need) and DARTS (connecting seniors to services and partnerships that improve their quality of life).  We give 100% of net proceeds to Kids 'n Kinship and DARTS. The only thing we reimburse ourselves for are parts and cleaning supplies we need to buy. We are very big on using recycled parts but sometimes we need to buy tires, tubes and kickstands. Our total expense is just 4% of receipts. Rick and his team refurbished, sold, and/or donated 470 bikes last year and is looking for even more for his next sale,

If that decent-condition kiddie bike, cruiser, or mountain bike is collecting dust in the corner of the garage, consider donating it to a great cause . See the CONTACT page to get hold of Rick & friends by phone or email and donate a bike!

HELP  NEEDED !    As the sale continues to get bigger each year, Rick is seeking additional help from the community.  Much of the bike refurbishing is simply cleaning the donated bikes, however if you have some bike maintenance experience Rick would greatly appreciate your help.  Rick is extremely flexible and would be happy to teach you a few things about bike tune-ups as well.   

ABOUT KIDS 'N KINSHIP  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/

ABOUT DARTS  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.
