[*BCM*] LIFT Bike Project

[Ben Sommer]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ben Sommer and I'm the coordinator for the LIFT Bike Project, a
non-profit with the mission of donating used bikes to low-income residents
in the Boston area. We work closely with the Green Streets Initiative and
Roll It Forward in Boston and are excited about expanding the network of
biking enthusiasts and activists in the Boston area.

We have just started our volunteer run "refurb nights" where volunteers
help fix up donated bicycles. Here is a blurb from the Green Streets
Initiative Website.


The LIFT Bike Project, an organization dedicated to donating refurbished
bicycles to homeless and low-income residents of Cambridge, Boston, and
Somerville, will kick off its 2012 “refurb nights” February 1st. Every
Wednesday from 7-9 PM, volunteers will gather at Quad Bikes (
http://www.quadbikes.org) to help fix up bikes for a giveaway on the Green
Streets Initiative's April Walk/RIde Day, when 100 people will become the
proud new owners of a great set of wheels.



Refurb nights are both fun and a great way to meet a range of people with a
passion for community service and biking. While no mechanic experience is
required, volunteers should come prepared to learn something new. Whether
you're a refurb night veteran or hearing about this opportunity for the
first time, come on down - everyone is welcome.



For those who can't make it to refurb nights, there are other ways to help.
Maybe you have an old bike lying in your basement - LIFT would love for you
to donate it.



Please feel free to contact Ben at liftbostonbikeproject at gmail.com with any
questions, or visit liftbikeproject.blogspot.com.


If you'd like to get in touch with me feel free to call me at 617 642 8788,
or email be at this address or at liftbostonbikeproject at gmail.com.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Ben Sommer
