Catawba County Bikes for Tykes Program

Catawba County Bikes for Tykes Program

The Hickory Fire Department, in conjunction with the Christmas Bureau, is asking for new and like new bikes and tricycles for needy children to be given out at Christmas time.

Last year 615 brand new bikes and 500 helmets were donated.

If you have a bike or tricycle that you would like to donate, please drop them off at any of the Hickory fire stations between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

The main drop off point will be fire station #5 located on Sweetwater Road.

Persons needing directions or having questions, please call 828-323-7420.

The "Bikes for Tykes" program is an effort to benefit needy children served by the Catawba County Christmas Bureau.

The toys will then be distributed through the Catawba County Christmas Bureau at the American Legion Fairgrounds in December.
