Seeking Donations for a Bicycle Trailer to Enhance Our Community Efforts

At LIFE Community Project, we are committed to serving our community in Oshawa and beyond through practical, sustainable efforts that make a real difference. We currently use a bicycle and walking to pick up and deliver essential items, but we’re looking to take our efforts to the next level with an important addition: a bicycle trailer.

A trailer will help us achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in our work, allowing us to:

• Weatherproof deliveries: With a trailer, we can protect items from the elements, ensuring that they arrive safely and intact, no matter the weather.
• Maintain food temperatures: By insulating a section of the trailer, we can keep meals hot or cold during delivery, ensuring they reach those in need at their best quality.
• Increase delivery capacity: A trailer will allow us to carry more items and create reliable, efficient routes for our weekly deliveries, helping us reach more people with the support they need.

Why We Choose Fuel-Free Methods

At the heart of our approach is sustainability. By using walking and cycling, we reduce fuel costs and minimize our environmental impact. These healthy, active methods also keep us energized and engaged in the work we do. On average, I personally walk and cycle for at least two hours a day—so why not put that time and energy to even better use, while saving funds that could be directed to other important needs within our programs?

Sustainability Through Reuse

We believe in the power of reducing, recycling, and repurposing wherever possible. Instead of purchasing new items, we seek out donations of gently used goods. We encourage individuals and businesses in our community to consider donating items they no longer need, which can be repurposed for the benefit of those most in need. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also helps ensure that funds raised go directly toward our core efforts and services, rather than purchasing equipment.

How You Can Help

To keep our deliveries running smoothly, we are seeking a donated bicycle trailer to help us increase our capacity and improve efficiency. If you or someone you know has a bicycle trailer that is no longer needed or used, we would be incredibly grateful for your donation. Your support will directly contribute to our mission of helping those in need in Oshawa while promoting sustainable, healthy, and cost-effective solutions.

Thank you for considering this request and for your ongoing support of our efforts to make a positive impact in the community. Together, we can continue building a better, stronger Oshawa.
