Got Bikes?  With Spring , comes bike season.  This year, we'll be accepting bike donations at the Greater Bexley Clean-Up on April 9th, 9:00 am - noon, at the Gateway South Parking Lot (Parkview and Main Street).  Please visit www.thegreaterbexleycleanup.com for more information.

Please check back for updates on other events we'll be involved with this Spring and Summer.

Please join us at the Bexley Shop Hop!

To all of you who helped make the 2010 Shop Hop one of the most successful Shop Hops to date...Thank you!

As a result of your generous support, we were able to raise over $15,000 -more than double last year's proceeds! Your contribution has provided DARN with much needed funding to make a significant difference in the lives of area children and families in need. 

Please check back for updates on 2011's Shop Hop at www.bexleyshophop.com or find us on Facebook

My little grandson and granddaughter would not get to have bikes if you did not give them to us. I use every penny to give them food, some clothes and the things they have to have at school. You are a blessing to me. Thanks.

- DARN Recipient
DARN is a remarkable organization that quietly arose to reach previously unaddressed needs in our community. Although their approach is under-the-radar, their results are as loud as can be; they enrich the life of each child they touch. Bexley has so much to offer. DARN helps open those doors of opportunity to all our residents, especially those who cannot always help themselves.

DARN (Developmental Assets Resource Network) strives to meet the needs of community children and families through the allocation of community resources, funding of camp scholarships, and engagement in policy-making efforts to assure these groups have access to necessary resources.
