Bike giveaway held for children in Portsmouth

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Dozens of kids in Portsmouth have a new bike just in time for Christmas after Third Baptist Church’s giveaway Monday. It was all thanks to the youth support group Andrew’s Brothers.

“This is the good moment we want to show,” member Carl Williams said.

Williams said the event is held twice a year and it aims to give back to youth in need.

“We get donations, and we purchase them from different organizations like Walmart, places like that,” Williams said.

This year, Williams said they were able to give out around 50 bikes just in time for Christmas.

“It’s very important that we all come together during times like now, that we all are in some way or another struggling, trying to make it,” Williams said.

Williams said the next giveaway will be held around Easter.
