Location: The Bikes Not Bombs warehouse at 10 Harvard Street in Dorchester, MA 02124.
Date and Times: due to trucking issues, we’ve had to postpone this container loading. Stay tuned via social media and email for an updated date!
- 9 AM to 12:30 PM
- 12:30 PM to 4 PM
We welcome all people to help for any amount of time, and volunteers may register for as many shifts as they are available. Please note that Sunday shifts may be cancelled if we are able to fill the container ahead of schedule on Saturday.
What to Expect: Volunteers will arrive and be assigned certain roles or to perform specific tasks. You will be lifting and moving bicycles throughout the day, though not every individual is required to do heavy lifting. We advise you wear closed-toed shoes and clothing you are not worried about getting dirty. Dress appropriately for the weather as work will be performed outside and the warehouse does not have climate control. Bring your own work gloves if you have them. Food will be provided for volunteers!
