The Beaumont Community Service Committee is thrilled to be able to offer Beaumont students a chance to give back to the local community with an in-person service opportunity in conjunction with non-profit Zummo Bikes of Berwyn.
On Saturday, October 15th, Beaumont students and their parents will collect bikes donated by the school community in the carpool circle during a 2-4 hour drop-off window (time TBD). Zummo will then take the donated bikes, their kid mechanics will refurbish them at Zummo’s shop in Berwyn, and Zummo will give the bikes to children who earn them in school programs with a focus on Norristown elementary schools students.
We Need YOU, Beaumont Bears! We will be looking for elementary school volunteers to help with bike in-take at the carpool circle on October 15th, for bike clean-up assistants, and even for thank you note authors to help us express our gratitude to the donors. Parents must remain on school grounds with their children on the day of the event and sign-ups will be forthcoming.
We also need physical donations to make this event a success! Zummo is able to accept bikes of all sizes and types, baby seats, bells, helmets and bike accessories, so start going through those garages and basements looking for outgrown items!
Stay tuned to future Blasts for further details about this exciting event!
