Have a bicycle you aren’t using anymore?
Golden Hill United Methodist Church in Bridgeport is always looking for bike donations for their Used Bike Giveaway (every June) for families in need.
** Thanks to everyone who donated a bike for the 2024 Used Bike Giveaway! Your generosity contributed to more than 85 bicycles being given to kids of all ages — for play … for exercise … to get to work … for the pure enjoyment of being outdoors! **
UMC Monroe is especially thankful for the leadership, passion, time and talents of Carin and Matthew in representing our community and helping families in the Greater Bridgeport area be able to hop on their bikes and go for a ride!

Donation guidelines and how to donate:
- Need children’s, youth and adult bikes.
- Bikes should be in decent shape (perhaps in need of a few minor repairs).
- A bike pick up can be arranged for a mutually agreeable time — contact Matthew Cacace (matthew.cacace@gmail.com) to make arrangements.
- Bikes can also be delivered to Golden Hill UMC (210 Elm Street, Bridgeport) Tuesday – Friday 9:30 am – 12:00 pm. Other times can be arranged, if needed. Please call the church first (203.336.0152).
- For church family members: Bikes can also be brought to the church and left at the garage/shed in the back upper lot
- We’ll need bike donations by mid-May to allow time for repairs.
