Organize a Drive
As children grow, discarded bikes sit in the garage collecting dust, clothes sit in the basement gathering dust – you get the picture! Your family can recycle for a cause by organizing a bike drive for Seattle Bike Works, for example, which donates bicycles to kids and teaches them to fix bikes and ride safely. Or you could organize a donation drive for foster kids at organizations like Treehouse or Seattle Children’s Hospital. Your kids can make posters and get their schools or teams involved.
Minimum age range: None
