Our local Canadian Tire donated a bunch of lights and reflectors to us for a couple of program we ran two years ago. It ended up being a huge box of front and rear bike lights, some safety vests and reflective tapes. They also gave/heavily discounted a few helmets as well. Canadian Tire really seemed good about it and don't forget their Jump Start program which encourages kids to participate in sports.

Hey everyone,
We're involved in a couple programs that provide free/by donation bikes to folks that wouldn't otherwise have access and have recently identified a real need for accessories (particularly locks, but also helmets and lights). Has anyone had any success getting discounted or donated accessories from distributors, commercial shops (i.e. deadstock) or through fundraisers or bike drives?
Any tips/suggestion would be helpful :)
Thanks!
