The Rotary Club of Robbinsville Hamilton, in partnership with the Robbinsville Township Police Department, is planning to host a community bike drive on Saturday, Oct. 18.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Friendly’s in the Foxmoor Shopping Center, 1031 Washington Blvd. Residents are encouraged to drop off unwanted bicycles during that time.

Donated bikes will be refurbished and resold. The Rotary Club says that proceeds will support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County. The effort is part of a larger collaboration with organizations including the Bike Exchange and Recycle-A-Bike, which aim to promote affordable transportation, sustainability and youth programs.

Organizers said the drive is an opportunity for families to clean out garages while helping to fund services for children across the county.
