🚲🧵 Donate Your Used Bikes & Sewing Machines for a Great Cause! 🌍

Pedals for Progress/Sewing Peace, in its continuing effort to recycle unwanted items properly, is having a used bike and sewing machine collection sponsored by the Madison Rotary Club.

Anyone with an adult or child’s bicycle in repairable condition is urged to donate their bike to this worthy cause. Please note: we do not accept “bikes for parts” or disassembled bikes. We also accept working portable sewing machines and sewing notions (no fabric, please).

Pedals for Progress/Sewing Peace collects 3,000 to 5,000 items annually and transfers this material wealth to those in greater need. To date, more than 170,000 bicycles and 6,300 sewing machines have been shipped to developing countries in Central America, Africa, and Eastern Europe.

In these countries, the bikes are reconditioned by partner agencies and distributed at low cost to those who need reliable transportation for work, school, and daily life.

A donation of $20 per item is requested to help offset overseas shipping costs.

Thank you for helping make a difference — one bike and one sewing machine at a time! 🌎
