Bicycle & Sewing Machine Collection

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Long Island will hold its annual used bicycle and sewing machine collection in the front parking lot. The items collected will be reconditioned by the international non-profit Pedals for Progress (P4P) and sent to Belize.

Anyone with an adult or child’s bicycle in repairable condition or a working portable sewing machine is urged to donate the item. Since it costs $40 to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle, a donation toward shipping costs is necessary (suggested minimum $20 per item). All cash and material donations are fully deductible and a receipt will be provided on site. The program does not accept “bikes for parts,” disassembled bikes or tricycles.
