Grant Recipient Stories: Northeast Community Cycles
Northeast Community Cycles is a new recipient of a grant from St John’s Community Foundation. Their mission is to provide safe, refurbished bicycles, free of charge, to underprivileged children and adults in Fairfield County, CT. They are located at 48 Union St, Stamford.
They began in 2005, became a non-profit in 2012 and have given away more than 2,500 bicycles to local charities. Their volunteers refurbish the donated bicycles and give them away, each with a new free helmet. Some of their bicycles are distributed to boys and girls and clubs and others to homeless shelters.
Note:The Children's program will take a summer break until end of September. Children are invited to worship with their parents in the sanctuary this coming Sunday.
To give to St. John's Episcopal Church, you can make your donations electronically or you can simply mail in your check to the church office if you would rather not use the online giving tool. Our Parish Administrator, Kathy McBride, is receiving the mail and doing the banking as usual.
