Connecticut Bike Project

The Connecticut Bike Project in conjunction with Catholic Charities in Bridgeport and several other non-profit organizations will be collecting old bikes on Saturday, September 25th in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church (Hamden) parking lot from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.

The idea is simple: Get old bikes, fix them up and give them to people, who need transportation including ex convicts, who otherwise would not be able to get to work and people who have lost their jobs and have no income to pay for public transit. People in need can contact the group or get a referral from their social worker for a bike.

For more information you can call Fr. Daniel Sullivan at OLMC Church 203-248-0141.
