The Mercer County Planning Department and the Mercer County Park Commission are hosting a bike drive for the benefit of the Boys & Girls Club Bike Exchange. This non-profit run by 50 volunteers collects, conditions, and sells used, quality bikes to people in the Trenton and Mercer County area. Since 2009 the Bike Exchange has repaired, reconditioned, and sold over 27,000 donated bikes, raising more than $1,600,000 for the Boys & Girls Club after-school programs which serve over 700 children daily. Over the past several years the Bike Exchange has given away approximately 300 bikes annually to youth in Trenton and urban areas throughout New Jersey. The Bike Exchange also trains interested students in bike repair through their internship program.Your bike donation will help support these efforts. Please drop off your bike at either the West Windsor or Pennington location and know that your tax-deductible donation will benefit our community. The Boys & Girls Club enables young people to develop their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. The Club provides safe havens, academic enrichment, and recreational activities through afterschool, weekend, and summer programs.
