It Takes a Village to Keep the Wheels Turning in Our Bike Program 

On Cape Cod, access to transportation can be a challenge, but Hand in hand Thrift Shop helps fill this void. Each year, many people donate their used bikes to the Thrift Shop, and Ken Voorhees volunteers his time and skill to refurbish them.

Volunteers Ben and Susan Houghton collaborate to manage the supply of donated bikes. They help to transport and store the bikes. "As you can see, it takes a village of volunteers to make this happen!" exclaimed Ms. Syverson­ Mercer.

If you know anyone in need of a bike, please encourage them to come to Hand in hand Thrift Shop on Sandwich Road, East Falmouth, to find the right bike at a great price!

If you have a bike in good condition, please consider donating it to Hand in hand and know that your bike will assist others in our community. 

When you shop, donate, volunteer or support Hand in hand, you are giving the gift of community. Thank you.
