Latest News May is National Bike Month Did you know you can donate your child’s outgrown bike to EBC? When you do, not only will you be keeping it out of the landfill, you will also give another local child the opportunity to experience the pure joy that comes with bike ownership. Last year EBC gave out 488 bikes, scooters & tricycles (with helmets, plus 196 additional helmets). Almost all of these came in as donations from YOU! Thank you, and please keep us in mind the next time your child (or you) get a new bike. EBC gives bikes to kids up to age 12, so children’s and adult bikes are accepted and given back out.
End of School Year Donations Ready or not, summer is coming. Fast. We’re sure you are very busy making plans, but we’d like to ask you to keep EBC in mind at the end of the school year when your child is finished with his or her school supplies. Those backpacks you’re sure they won’t want to use again next year, the folders with lots of life left in them, the extra paper, extra crayons, extra glue; we would love to have them all. Long before school starts back in the fall, EBC is working with our partners in early education and other programs to make sure the families they serve will be fully prepared for the coming year. Your “that’s so last year” donations will help a child in your community go back to school with the tools they need for success.
