What We Do
Re-Cycle Macon is a program operated by Centenary Community Ministries, Inc. through the support of the Knight Foundation, 880 Cities, and the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities.
The goals of this program are to:
1. Provide adults in need of transportation the opportunity to earn a bicycle as means of stopgap transportation. We consider this to be a small step toward transportation equity and community justice.
2 Provide the space, tools, and guidance needed on a monthly basis at our co-ops for anyone to work on their bicycle, especially those who depend on a bicycle for transportation.
3. Offer service opportunities at our co-ops.
4. Most importantly, we seek to build inclusive and diverse community through our co-ops and meals.
Nothing is required to attend and to share a meal. All are welcome.

“It’s really helping me out because I can get to work on time, I can get back home on time.”
“I was walking from Twiggs County to Macon every day to the Day Report Center.”
“A bike helps me get back and forth from the doctor’s and to get prescriptions filled.”

Events
Come out to one of Re-Cycle Macon’s monthly co-ops to: receive guidance and tools to fix your own bicycle, the opportunity to earn a bicycle of your own, help us to work on bicycles for people in need, or just for a free meal and to meet new people. There are no expectations for your presence; we hope you will be a part of building community. Co-ops take place in the fellowship hall of Centenary Church located at 1185 Ash St. Check out photos from recent co-ops. DUE TO COVID-19, ALL CO-OPS ARE ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
