The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) donated 13 bicycles on Thursday from the abandoned property section of the FCSO Evidence Unit. These bicycles are in need of repair but have the potential to become a beloved form of recreation for a child.
The bicycles were donated to the Bike Men of Flagler County who take bicycles or bicycle parts in any condition and recondition them for a new chance to bring joy to a child. Each year, the Bike Men of Flagler County receive bicycle donations in an effort to make children’s dreams come true by receiving a bicycle. Some bicycles are then passed on to the annual Christmas Come True program. Christmas Come True is a non-profit organization assisting families in Flagler County in need of a helping hand, especially around the holidays.

The holiday season looks a little different this year, but the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is continuing the tradition of participating in the Christmas with a Deputy event. The event focuses on providing gifts for Flagler County children who otherwise might not receive any.
This year, 165 Flagler children were selected to participate in the event. Due to COVID-19, the participants will not be able to shop with deputies and instead were given instructions on how to set up an online “wish list” via Walmart’s website. After setting up this “wish list,” all of the items will be shipped directly to Walmart for pick up and delivered to the child personally by a deputy or other law enforcement officer.
