Bottomline: Santa Clause is strapped so several organizations are stepping up to help.
The program has provided more than 125,000 bicycles to children during the holidays since 1982 and is in the process of collecting more bikes from the community for the season through December 21st.
This year’s collection goal is set at 6,500 bikes, which will be distributed through area Boys & Girls Clubs and other charities, churches and schools.
Bikes can be dropped off at Rick Case Auto Dealerships.
Meanwhile, as part of the U.S. Marines’ Toys for Tots campaign, Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman-elect Jose “Pepe” Diaz was spotted shopping for Christmas toys at a Walmart in Doral for local needy children.
