Paradigm is proud to support community initiatives, here are a few things we’ve been up to:
The Rebike Program
- ReBike is housed in Paradigm’s basement, everyone in the community is welcome to come down on Wednesday evenings for a bicycle repair workshop. If you volunteer for a few hours, you get a bike! Yes, it’s that easy!
Goodside Grocery
As of August 19th 2011, Goodside Grocery officially surpassed its 400th member! Great job, Sheboygan, for making your only all-local grocer a continuing success!! Goodside Grocery is housed under the Paradigm roof, so grab some coffee and shop around for foods grown and made by local vendors. Is there any better way to support your community?
The Paradigm Garden
- Did we mention that we compost? Every year we haul bucket after bucket of compost out to the Paradigm Garden. Like the good ole’ farmers we aspire to be, we plot, till and plant our garden to grow our summer produce for the shop. It’s a lot of hard work, but we think it’s worth it!
Critical Mass
- Critical Mass – Join us for a fun bike ride around town, promoting bicycle use and creating awareness about our presence on the road. Meet us at the bike racks out front of the Mead Public Library every last Friday of the month at 5:30pm!
Bicycle Drive 2011
- Paradigm, in cooperation with EarthFest, Rebike and WorkingBikes Cooperative of Chicago held a bike drive! All the bikes donated will be sent to rural and impoverished communities in Latin America and Africa! We thought it was a great success, thank you Sheboygan!
