Nugget Markets hosts bike drive at Davis Covell store
This coming Saturday, April 28, Davis Nugget Markets will be hosting a drive in to collect bicycles for high school students in Togo, West Africa. Nugget is partnering with Alaffia’s Bicycles for Education Program, which refurbishes and ships the bikes to Togo to give high school students a means of transportation to and from school.
Many students in Togo walk anywhere from 5 to 15 miles to school, and bicycles provide a vital means of transportation, allowing children to continue to receive a vital education and drastically improving their lives.
“This is the first time Nugget has joined with Alaffia for a bike drive,” says Dave Welch, store director of Nugget Markets on Covell. “Our entire Nugget team is excited and ready for a day of community fun and partnership for a wonderful, global cause.” Donations are tax deductible, and donors will receive a free cup of coffee and a Nugget cookie for their contribution, while supplies last.
The drive will be hosted Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Nugget Markets at 1414 E. Covell Blvd. For more information on the Bicycles for Education Program, visit www.alaffia.com .
