Bike Walk Wilmette will collect used adult and kids bikes to donate to Working Bikes. Bikes must be in reparable condition (missing tires, wheels, or parts are ok).
Bike Walk Wilmette advocates for better biking, walking, and active transportation for all ages and abilities in Wilmette. We collaborate with the Village, Park District, and schools on issues relating to active transportation and support efforts to make biking and walking in Wilmette better, safer, and more fun.
Working Bikes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has distributed over 100,000 bikes in local and global communities since 1999. They donate bikes to adults and kids living in low-income communities in Chicago. They also send repaired bikes to organizations in Africa and Central America. Donated bikes provide essential transportation to and from work and school and also offer valuable recreational opportunities for adults and kids.
