This is how a bike can change a life- bikes giving purpose, creating goals, empowering kids all over the land. All while catching stares with the outpour of creativity. Scraper Bike King, I think your East Oakland bike shop dream will come true. When it does, can our Workshop students kick it with your crew?

Nashville has been seriously stepping up since the flooding occurred. All over town, volunteers have come out to help their neighbors. Ripping carpet, bleaching walls, throwing away items so personal and dear. It’s an odd feeling, helping a perfect stranger sort through which family photos can and can’t be salvaged. We’ve gotten to know each other on another level, and I gotta say, this is the Nashville I love.

So it is with great thanks to share that this weekend, Halcyon helped collect 7 truckloads of donated items and over $2,500 to go towards our city’s rebuilding process. That is awesome, and what is even better is that this is happening all over town. When we each give a little…

Following the devastation of the Nashville Flood, there are many opportunities to volunteer and give back to those in need. Halcyon has two easy ways this weekend to participate in the rebuilding of our amazing city:


Flood Relief Drive

Saturday May 8th

11-7

Halcyon Bike Shop parking lot

This Saturday, Halcyon will host a relief drive to support those who have been so greatly impacted by the Nashville Flood. If you have items to donate, we would love to take them off your hands and get them to the victims in need. If you have been affected directly by the flood, please come down to the shop and take whatever items you need or want.

We will be accepting:

*Canned and dry food items

*Clothing (please, only NEW socks and underwear) and shoes

*Diapers, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, and toiletries

*Blankets, towels and linens

*BIKES! Many people lost their cars and bikes in the flood, and need transportation

Again, if you are a victim of the flood and are in any need of these items, please come down to the shop and take your pick! All remaining items will be donated through Hands on Nashville to help their relief efforts.

The next day, Sunday May 9th, Nashville’s Dead, Halcyon and Rockettown are partnering to bring you some good ol’ rock’n'roll relief.

Rockettown

This will be ALL AGES and FREE but donations are strongly encouraged! We will also be accepting cans and clothing donations at this event.

No excuse y’all- our neighbors need us. To those who have been impacted by this disaster- we love ya, keep truckin’, and we want to help you.
