Volunteers from the Cambridge office of National Student Partnerships (NSP)
are developing a project to provide low income community members with
free bicycles, locks and helmets. There are currently no social
services for free, sustainable transportation in the community. Many
of the homeless and unemployed individuals who work with NSPvolunteers
are unable to go to job interviews or access existing social services
because they cannot afford to ride the T. To respond to this problem,
we hope to provide 20 low-income community members with bicycles in
September of 2009. In order to realize this goal, we need community
support and involvement!
You can help by:
- Refurbishing and donating a used bike
- Donating a few hours of your time to refurbish bikes
- Working with NSP volunteers to develop the program (no bike expertise necessary!)
- Donating space to store bikes
- Providing a financial donation
