Franklinton Volunteer Night

Tuesday, December 18 @ 6:30-9p.m.
Franklinton Cycle Works

Volunteer Night is a great way to get involved at Franklinton Cycle Works. The shop isn’t open for repairs so you can focus on getting things done around the shop, getting to know other volunteers better, and further developing your mechanical skills. Volunteers help by fixing bicycles (no experience is necessary as mechanics will be on hand), sorting used parts, creative art projects, and more.
