New Deals for Old Wheels

P4P collects 7,000 to 9,000 bicycles annually and transfers this material wealth to those more needy. To date, more than 124,500 have been shipped to developing countries in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe. In these countries the bikes are reconditioned by partner agencies and distributed at low cost to poor working adults. These bikes provide them with reliable transportation for commuting to work, transporting produce to market, or accessing health care and other services. Steady employment for these adults is vital to the development and success for these economies. It costs $35 to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle. A donation toward shipping costs is necessary (suggested minimum $10 per bike). All cash and material donations are fully tax deductible and a receipt will be available at the collection site. We also accept working portable sewing machines. Pedals for Progress is a 501 (c) (3) corporation and a registered charity in the states of NJ, PA, NY, CT, MA & VT. Brochures explaining this innovative program will be available at the collection site. P4P seeks donations of wrenches for our overseas shops.
