Help Jan Maloff in the Annual CNY Family Bike Giveaway.

If you’d like to help this year there are three ways you can choose to support this very worthwhile central NY tradition:

2021 Dates: Repair starts 11/20 and until 12/12 – 10am to 6pm.
Let’s make Saturday 12/4 OCC members day at the Giveaway. Come out and lend a hand with your OCC friends.

Volunteers of all skills levels can help. Some bikes just need cleaning. Some just new tubes/tires. Some need major work. Help at the level you’re comfortable with.

Bikes can be dropped off/donated daily same times.

• Donate some time and turn a wrench – Last 2 weeks in November and first 2 weeks in December, Jan and volunteers will be at the cow building at the NY State Fairgrounds. Some bikes just need cleaning. Some just new tubes/tires. Some need major work. Help at the level you’re comfortable with. 7 work stations with bike stands and supplies but bring your tools if you have. Food and beverages on site for volunteers.
• Donate a bike – Jan is still in need of some “descent” bikes.  If you have a bike to donate please give Jan a call, 315-446-7570.  When you call if you get an employee at his funeral service please let them know that you are a member of the Onondaga Cycling Club as Jan wants to personally speak with and thank each donor.
• Donate financially – As always, funds are needed to purchase parts to refurbish bikes.   C.N.Y Family Bike Giveaway is a registered charity and your donation is tax-deductible.
• Please call 315-446-7570 for dates and times. Once you get to the Fairgrounds there will be someone at the gate and signs that will lead you to the location.

Last year we repaired and gave away over 2,000 bikes.

During this summer we distributed over 700 bikes in some of our most impoverished neighborhoods in Syracuse and we repaired hundreds more. The repair trailer is fully equipped and stocked with bike parts and tools and will become a regular part of our summer giveaway program. We also use this opportunity to mentor the bike recipients on how to care for their bikes.

Looking forward to this season’s Christmas bike giveaway, we are hoping that you can contribute. Our funds are extremely low at this time and need has never been greater.

We are servicing more families than usual due to the economy. We understand that the economy may have affected your ability to donate, but I am asking you to please donate. Our program is a registered charity and is tax-deductible.
