In October 2023, with the generous support of Matt Canby from Pearl City Cycle and community donations, New Neighbors Coalition donated over 20 bikes and helmets to new neighbors to help facilitate transportation needs. We are planning another event on May 10th at 4pm in the St. Luke’s Undercroft, in honor of Bike to Work Week, which is held from May 13-19th. Similar to the last event, the goal is to provide newly arrived immigrants who have come to our region since October with a functional donated bike, a helmet, and a [no]crash course in road safety for bikers.
Do you have a gently used bicycle sitting in your garage or storage unit? Instead of letting it collect dust, why not donate it to someone in need? Your donation can make a significant difference in someone’s life by providing them with a means of transportation to school, work, or other essential destinations. Bicycles in need of minor reparations are also accepted. We also need financial donations to purchase helmets. For further donation instructions, please contact Momina Di Blasio at momina@stlukesjamestown.org or call St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at (716)
