5 5 of 14 6/5/2018, 6:18 PM Requirements: - Bikes should be rust free. - Bikes with flat tires in need of some repair are accepted. - No children's trikes. - "Bikes for parts" are not accepted. - Portable sewing machines shall be in working condition. A $10 minimum cash donation is required with each bike or sewing machine. All material and monetary donations are tax deductible. A receipt will be provided on site. The required cash donation helps to offset the cost to ship the bikes to the developing countries. The bikes collected will be sent to Nicaragua, Ghana, Albania, and Kosovo. Pedals for Progress, also known as P4P, collects 5000 to 7000 bicycles annually and transfers this material wealth to those more needy. Thus rescuing bicycles destined for America's landfills and delivering them to societies where they are badly needed and highly valued. To date, more than 150,462 bicycles, 3,735 used sewing machines and $10.8 million in new spare parts have been shipped to partner charities in 38 developing countries. In these countries, the bikes are reconditioned by partner agencies and distributed at low cost to poor working adults. These bikes provide them with reliable transportation for commuting to work, transporting produce to market, or accessing health care and other services. Steady employment for these adults is vital to the development and success for these economies. It costs $40 to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle. The required $10 donation helps to offset the shipping costs. P4P is a 501(c)(3) corporation and a registered charity in the states of NJ, PA, NY, CT, IA & VT. Brochures explaining this innovative program will be available at the collection site. P4P also seeks donations of wrenches for our oversees shops. For detailed information about our overseas projects and a current schedule of bicycle collection, visit the P4P website at If you miss this collection date, you can locate other bike collections through the Pedals for Progress website: Please Consider Supporting YOUR FLEMINGTON ROTARY FOUNDATION The Flemington Rotary Foundation was established in 2017 and was organized for the charitable and educational purposes of the Rotary Club of Flemington, NJ.
