During April, 2025, St. Mark's special offering supported Bikes for the World (B4W). On Saturday, May 10, St. Mark's held their 2025 Bike Collection. Thanks to all the volunteers and donors that made the event a success. 58+ bikes were collected; between the bike donors and St. Mark's April special collection for Bikes for the World, more than $1600 was donated to B4W.

Approximately 20 members of St. Mark's pitched in and prepared the bikes for their ultimate journey to recipient organizations around the world.

On our collection day, St. Mark's volunteers accepted donated bikes, completed receipts, and “flattened” the bikes by lowering the seats and handlebars and removing the pedals, so that shipping containers can be optimally filled.

Contact Marty if you have any questions. St. Mark's will hold its next collection in the spring of 2026. Please save your bikes; they will be recycled and productively reused.

Since 2005, B4W has collected more than 200,000 bikes and has delivered 400+ containers to 32 countries, supporting 114 projects!
