According to Jenn Neilen, the Toys for Tots coordinator, Dick’s Sporting Goods donated 25 brand new bikes to the organization.

Neighbors also donated five bikes, meaning the group now has 30 bikes to give to kids in need this Christmas.

Neilen told 11 News that before, they only had enough bikes to give to a select number of kids. Now, all the children in need will be able to receive a bike for the holidays.
