Container Loading to Ghana [11/20/2025 to 11/22/2025]
2025-11-20 - 2025-11-23 | BNB Warehouse, 10 Harvard St., Boston, MA, 02124, United States
Bikes Not Bombs is scheduled to ship a container of bicycles and parts to our partner Village Bicycle Project in Ghana from Thursday November 20th to Sunday November 22nd and we need your help!
Join us on Thursday, Friday, Saturday (and possibly Sunday) at our warehouse in Dorchester (10 Harvard Street in Dorchester, MA 02124) to help us with this extremely important work. Volunteer roles will consist of stripping bikes, sorting parts, inventory tracking and counting, and much more. Bikes Not Bombs staff will be present to guide and direct volunteers. More information can be found below. Sign up here to volunteer!
Location: The Bikes Not Bombs warehouse at 10 Harvard Street in Dorchester, MA 02124.

Date and Times:
Thursday November 20th:

10 AM to 1 PM (no container present yet, but critical preparation!)

Friday November 21st and Saturday November 22nd:

9:30 AM to 1:00 PM
12:30 PM to 4 PM

Sunday November 23rd (as a back-up shift; this may be cancelled if we finish early)

10 AM to 2 PM

What to Expect: Volunteers will arrive and be assigned certain roles. Most roles will require lifting bicycles throughout the day. Please note that shifts on Sunday may be canceled, as we have finished container loadings quickly in the past and might wrap up on Saturday. We welcome all people to help for any amount of time, and volunteers may register for as many shifts as they are available.
We advise you wear closed-toed shoes and clothing you are not worried about getting dirty. Dress appropriately for the weather as the warehouse does not have climate control and work will be performed outside. Bring your own work gloves if you have them. Coffee and donuts will be provided for volunteers in the morning and pizza in the afternoon.
