CHS Interact Club hosts Bike Drive

CHS Interact Club hosts Bike Drive

By Heather

The Chesterton High School Interact Club, sponsored by the Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club, will be holding a bike drive on May 15th from 9 am-3 pm in the high school parking lot. Used and broken bikes from the community will be gathered and donated to Working Bikes Cooperative, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Chicago. Working Bikes repairs used bikes and ships them overseas to the Gulf Coast, Ghana, Tanzania, Angola, Cuba, Guatemala, and Peru. The bikes are highly valued in these countries as a crucial means of transportation. Even bikes in poor condition are valuable for parts! For more information on the event, please click the link
