HELP! Loaves and Fishes Fort Pierce provides support for neighbors who are homeless in Fort Pierce.
One aspect of this outreach is giving bicycles to people who need the transportation for work. We accept bicycle donations from the community, then perform repairs and maintenance as needed. When the bicycle is functional, we keep it in storage until we get a request.
We need help two ways: first, we need bicycle donations; second, we need help with the repairs.
If you have a bicycle that is in reasonable condition, please consider donating. You can call (772)672-4394 to arrange pickup. Please leave a message with your name, address and phone number. One of our volunteers will return your call.
RIGHT NOW we need volunteers to help with repairs and maintenance. Our director has been doing this but has very limited expertise, especially with the multi-speed bikes that we seem to get most often. Responsibilities include:
assessment to determine if the bike is economically feasible to repair;
provide cost estimate for parts;
make repairs to make the bike fully functional. You will be reimbursed for parts you have to purchase.
We currently have a 15-speed Schwinn that we are trying to get out to a homeless man who desperately needs transportation.
If you are interested in volunteering with us, please call (904) 219-4799 and leave a message. Or you can email director@LoavesAndFishesFP.org .
Bruce, our director will respond as soon as possible.
