Any members work at bike co-op or similar? re: Donating Parts

[RobJ]

I have a bunch of miscellaneous parts that I honestly don't believe have any value in listing here nor do I care to make every last dollar from. I would rather them go to good use at a place that is building bikes for kids, those in needs, developmental programs etc..

If anyone works at one, please send me a message. Or if you know a good one that you supported in the past, that works too. Thanks.

Velocity Bicycle Cooperative in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria is well run and organized. I have donated a complete bike and some parts to them in the past and I believe the stuff is put to good use.

Not that shipping across the country makes any sense, but Teen Services Sonoma get all my stuff, good friend runs the place.

Check to see if you have an Earn-A-Bike chapter. I believe it’s a national organization with chapters in many locals.

I don't even live in DC (I do go a couple of times a year) and even I know abou t this one's reputation. I'd go here.

There was a fellow who posted here, John Martin, who started a bike coop in New Haven, and I've sent him parts before.

You've probably found what you're looking for, but might as well keep the list going in case it gives anyone else an idea...

I make a drop-off run to Velocity at least once a year. Good folks.

Thanks all! Looks like I have a good excuse to hit up Del Ray for some food and beer (oh and to drop off bike parts)....
