355 Commerce Street - Montgomery, AL 36104
WE NEED AS MANY DELIVERY RIDERS AS POSSIBLE TO TRANSPORT 1,500 BOOKS! We will meet at the downtown MBC Bike Corral, load our bags & bikes with books, discuss the morning agenda, and then begin our ride to Highland Avenue Elementary School. Delivery at the school will start soon after we ride our bikes to the school. We will be pedaling 3 miles (one way) along downtown streets to the school. The bike ride will be slow, casual, and friendly for beginners.
The deliveries usually take approximately 3 hours including the ride. All volunteers will receive more details via email prior to the delivery date. For more information, contact Bethany Garth, our Ride for Reading coordinator, at Bethany.Garth@Gmail.com
