Triangle Spokes Group Annual Bike Giveaway
Hooray!! This is what we work toward all year long!! In fourteen short years, Triangle Spokes Group, has given away over 6,600 bicycles. That is 6,600 children who had a brighter holiday and a chance to experience the fun and freedom a bike can bring! We could not do it with out the generous support of donors, corporations and events that contribute to the purchase of the new bicycles. Through a great partnership with Huffy bicycles, we are able to purchase a new bicycle and helmet for $85. 100% of the donations go toward the bike purchase and to the kids. By teaming up with the Salvation Army we are able to find the families who will receive the bicycles. They will not know they will be receiving a bicycle until they make their way through the Salvation Army Toy Shop. The last stop is to TSG where they will find out if they will be going home with one of the most coveted prizes- a brand new bike!
This year the Salvation Army will have over 3,600 families and over 7,700 children who will come to them for help. The 2020 bike distribution dates this year will be December 15th, 16th and 17th and run from 9am to 4pm each day. We will be arranging volunteer opportunities to help give out the bikes on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to consider helping out for 2-4 hour shifts, please contact Jenn at JennNowalk@Me.com | 919.454.8173
