Bicycle Library Active, Needs Volunteers

 

The Bicycle Library is a free, volunteer-run bicycle workshop  

located in North Oakland. For six years we have been providing education,  

tools, free used parts, even whole bikes to anyone willing to do their own  

repairs. We are now open regularly again, but we could still use a few more  

volunteers to make it sustainable. Any time you can give is useful, whether  

you can commit a few hours a week or just an occasional errand. Staffing a  

biweekly 4-hour shift is the highest level of commitment, and is an incredibly  

rewarding chance to build a relationship with the neighborhood. You don't  

need to be an expert on bike repair -- but this is a great way to learn.   

595-1803.

 

 

 

 

 

Volunteer with East Bay Food Not Bombs

 

We serve a healthy free vegetarian meal 6 days a week. Join  

us as we gather, cook, serve, clean and compost our way to a healthier and  

more just world. Call us at 644-4187, come to a meeting Wednesday nights at  

8:30pm at the Long Haul, (3124 Shattuck Ave), or join us for lunch at 2:30  

Mon-Fridays in People's Park in Berkeley and on Sundays at 14th & Jefferson  

in downtown Oakland.  644-4187.
