Free Bikes 4 Kidz Madison is a local nonprofit that collects, refurbishes, and donates bicycles to kids in the greater Madison area who otherwise wouldn't be able to get them. We just hosted our annual bike collection last Saturday (1/13) and received over 800 bikes, and now we're in the process of cleaning and fixing them in preparation for our March 24 and 25 giveaways. We're looking for individuals and groups to sign up to volunteer for one or more three-hour shifts at our workshop at 167 E. Badger Road (just off the Beltline at Rimrock), anytime between 9-9 Monday through Friday or 9-3 Saturday. Working with groups would be great - churches, offices, and clubs - to send a handful of people to clean bikes together, bond, and generally have fun doing something great for the community. Thank you in advance. Individual volunteers can sign up online here: www.fb4kmadison.org/volunteer/ or contact Drew Coursin at volunteer@fb4kmadison.org to arrange for a group to come in.
***Important note: if you or someone you know could host a very short, yet inspirational, presentation on the mission and impact of FB4K, Drew would be happy to come to your office, church, clubhouse, etc., ice cream in hand, to drum up interest. Please consider spreading the word***

Mission Statement
Free Bikes 4 Kidz is a nonprofit organization geared toward helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those most in need.
Description
Free Bikes 4 Kidz Madison is an independent chapter of Free Bikes 4 Kidz, a nonprofit started in 2008 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. FB4K Madison hosted its inaugural bike collection and giveaway in 2017 and was able to provide bikes, helmets, and registration at no cost to 450 kids in the Madison, Wisconsin area.
This year, FB4K Madison is trying to collect 1,000 bikes, and we need help. Our collection is January 13, and between then and March 24 we will be cleaning and prepping all those bikes. Our workshop, located just off Rimrock Road near the Beltline, will be open Monday-Friday 9-9 and Saturday 9-3 starting Monday, January 15.
No experience necessary, just a desire to do something great for some kids in the community! We love teams and groups, too, so feel free to bring your club, office, or class.
