Mercer County Bike Drive April 9

Monday February 7, 2022
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Rain Date April 16

Do you have a bike that you no longer use? Maybe you have one that your child has outgrown? Mercer County and the Park Commission are hosting a Bike Drive at several locations throughout the county. We will take your old bikes – no matter the condition – and give them to the Trenton Bike Exchange, a volunteer organization that collects, repairs, and sells used bikes at a very low price.

The mission of the Bike Exchange is to help low-income families get decent bikes and to raise money for our local Boys and Girls Club. Besides having the satisfaction of knowing your old bike will be refurbished and put to good use, your donation is tax-deductible.

Never had so many people of all backgrounds read the thoughts of African Americans and embraced the Black community’s productions, expressions, and style in art, literature, music, dance, and theater. This talk will introduce you to many of the inspired artists who produced astonishing and ground-breaking works. Please email hopeprogs@mcl.org to register to receive link to program.
