2009 Bike and Build Team Works at the ReStore

Each year, about 30 young adults dipped their bicycles in the Piscataqua River at Prescott Park. At the end of August, this same group will dip these same bikes into the ocean in Vancouver, B.C. From now until then, they will ride their bikes across the country, while helping to build homes and raise money for Habitat for Humanity, and raise awareness for the need for affordable housing. This amazing team is from a non-profit organization called Bike and Build, and they are prepared to give all they’ve got for two months to address the nation’s affordable housing crisis.

This year, the Bike and Build team helped out at our ReStore.
