\"bicycle.jpg\"<\/a>The Connecticut Bike Project<\/b>
\nis a program that collects and distributes donated bicycles in good working
\ncondition to financially challenged children and adults who need them. Besides
\noffering them to children for recreation the aim of the endeavor is to provide
\nneeded transportation to work and for running errands to the economically
\ndisadvantaged; individuals with physical or mental disabilities that prevent
\nthem from driving, ex-offenders re-entering the workforce and other folks who
\ncan’t afford a vehicle or are without licenses to drive<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Consider hosting a
\nBike-Drive at your parish! Please spread the word that bicycles are in need for
\nthis project. Contact Mr. Brooks Sumberg to
\nschedule a drive in your parish or through your club or organization. He will
\nbe there for the event and take the bikes the same day as the drive. All you
\nneed to do is publicize the drive in your bulletins or newsletters. Maybe you
\ncan make it a project for your Parish youth group or Confirmation class.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
All
\nindividual bikes can be dropped off<\/span> at your convenience (at 96 Hillspoint Road, Westport, CT) but please call  the project
\nfounder, Mr. Brooks Sumberg, at 203-293-4130 or by e-mail: bsumberg@earthlink.net<\/span><\/a>.
\nIf you know of a child or adult in need of a bike you may contact The Urban
\nCenter at Saint Charles Borromeo<\/i> Parish in Bridgeport which has graciously
\nhouses the project and serves as the distribution center.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
