Donate your old bike, spare parts & tools!

Would you like to send your old bike on a new journey to Africa? We are looking for:

• adult/youth mountain and hybrid (street) bikes in working condition (bike frames should not be rusted, flat tires are ok)
• Unfortunately, we cannot accept racing style road bikes (with very thin tires also known as "10-speeds"), bikes for kids under age of 12,  and frames without wheels.
  

We also have a need for spare parts and tools to make repairs. Click here for a comprehensive list

Our last collection was on September 29th, 2007 read about it here!

We are planning the next collection for August 2008. If you would like to donate your bike to Bicycles for Humanity, please let us know- click here.

Donate used soccer gear!

Yes! We pack used soccer gear in between the bikes to provide a “ray of sunshine” to kids who are struggling to survive in a world that stacks all the odds against them… In the last container we sent over 400 jerseys, 100 balls, and other equipment! We hope to continue to provide the same gift with each container!

To donate soccer equipment (all is welcome, except we cannot accept used cleats) please contact Keith.Howard@sympatico.ca at the FC Capital United Soccer Club, our friends leading the effort in soccer gear collection.
