Donations can now be officially tax-deductable (and retroactive since the fall, when we filed) And grants may be written by the dozens. Yey for Bike Farm!!!

Bike Farm Update March 2008!

bikefarm — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:23:09 +0000

Over the past few weeks, folks have been stopping by the shop regularly to work on thier bikes and donate parts.

Recently, Bike Farm had a fundraising event blitz. An event at The Bye and Bye, quickly followed by a Valentine’s Formal, and two days later a show at Plan B. We raised enough funds to begin working on obtaining a much needed second set of tools along with some specialty tools. Spring is approaching and the shop hopes to increase capacity with these new tools as well as some new workstations outside.
