The Christmas Toy shop is looking for a few volunteers for the BIKE SHOP !
Do you like working on bicycles? We have a complete professional bike shop. You need not be an expert. All that is needed is the basic understanding of checking donated used bikes for safety. You will be checking the brakes and on a speed bike, adjust the gears if needed. You will check the tires and reflectiors. We have volunteers that will show you how if you do not know how to do it. We service these bikes and then give them away at Christmas time. Don't worry, after you service a bike, another volunteer will recheck it and sign off on it. The hours are flexible. Tuesday or Wednesday from 9:30 AM to 3PM. You can volunteer 1/2 day , 1 day or both days.
Please click on the Bike Shop link above for more information and to see a few videos of the guys in the shop.
The Christmas Toy Shop is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to the proposition that "no child will be without a Christmas," because of need, in Pinellas County.
Our goal is to provide toys during the holidays to less fortunate children in Pinellas County. In the past few years over 800 families were served including 2000 children. In addition, 700 bicycles were issued as part of the overall distribution.
