The non-profit organization roots4relief.com is building 58 new bikes out of the box as holiday gifts to kids whose families are below the poverty line. This organization has been doing this for 6 years in Connecticut and is expanding to San Diego this year. From their director:
"The Athletic Brewing team will be assembling 58 bikes on Wednesday 12/14, from 10am-2pm. WE CAN USE YOUR HELP! Having built bikes for the last 6 years, I know how much effort goes into the finishing QC process, and having some volunteers on-board that day that really know their stuff would be great. I'll be sure to provide them with a great lunch, lot's of beer, and amazing company. Ideally we'd find 2-4 volunteers that can help with final qc (brake adjustment, tightening up wheels and handlebar stem, etc.)."
Besides a free lunch and beer, you will be rewarded with the joy expressed by these kids and their families as they get a great gift this holiday season.
If you are interested, please email or phone John DellaVentura, info@roots4relief.com (info@roots4relief.com), 203-871-9896. The build will take place at Athletic Brewing Company. 7606 Trade St San Diego, CA 92121.
Thanks to all who can help!
