ARLINGTON, TX, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bikes for Mission Arlington announced that their annual children's bicycle drive will take place on Saturday, December 10 at 9:00 AM. Anyone who wishes to donate a new bicycle is invited to meet in the Pantego Christian Academy parking lot and join in a police escort to deliver the bikes to Mission Arlington.

“Every child wants to experience the joy that comes from unwrapping presents on Christmas morning,” said Board Member Clay Kelley. “But there are many families in our community that can’t afford gifts for their kids. We believe every child should experience the love of Jesus through the gift of a bicycle for Christmas.”

According to the organization, Bikes for Mission Arlington donates bicycles every year to Mission Arlington's Christmas Store. Bicycles are always the most-requested gifts, and the most needed.

According to Mr. Kelley, “Since Bikes started in 2007, we’ve given over 16,000 bicycles to local families via Mission Arlington—that’s 16,000 young lives touched through the generosity of people in our community.”

“Bikes for Mission Arlington is a wonderful opportunity to talk to our kids about the needs of struggling families in our community, and ultimately the responsibility of people of faith,” continued Mr. Kelley. “It's a great way to teach your children to put ‘faith into works’ while teaching our kids that God spreads His blessings in the world by using ordinary people.”

Those who would like to participate can visit bikesformissionarlington.org to RSVP. There is also an option to give financially, and every dollar goes directly to purchasing bicycles for children.
