Valley area Boy Scout Troops and the Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents have joined together to refurbish bikes for children in Arizona’s foster care system. Can you imagine what a great holiday it will be for a child who gets a like‐new bicycle this year? WE NEED YOUR HELP!
If you have a gently used bike in your garage that is gathering dust, we can “re‐cycle it “in to a great new holiday gift for a child. Your donation will be refurbished and delivered to a deserving child in December. Visit www.recycleyourbicycle.com for more details. Thank you!
