Furniture retailer Stoney Creek Furniture has teamed with New Hope Community Bikes, a non-profit organization that offers dependable bicycles at affordable prices.
To get people off the sofa, Stoney Creek Furniture, Stoney Creek, Ontario, collected unwanted used bikes to be donated to Hamilton-based New Hope. Customers who brought in a used bike received a $50 Stoney Creek Furniture Gift Card.
We wanted to give back to the community. It was summer and we were thinking bikes, and we connected with New Hope," said Stoney Creek Furniture Vice President Jim Fee. "Our customers came in and dropped off a bike--and in return they received a $50 Stoney Creek Furniture Gift Card. Then we passed along the bikes to New Hope to refurbish.
We were really excited to get some new bikes," said Andrew Hibma of New Hope Community Bikes. "This has been a great partnership; a big success.
Stoney Creek Furniture received more than 100 bikes during the promotion. Thats 100 people--children, adults and commuters--who will have access to dependable means of transportation and a way to improve their fitness.
