Dozens of children received special gifts at an Amityville church on Saturday: new bicycles.
A total of 100 bikes were donated to give out to children today at the Freedom Chapel in Amityville. Other children in attendance received stockings full of toys.
The gifts were given to needy children ages 5 through 15 from Copiague, Amityville, Lindenhust and Wyandanch.
The event was part of an outreach program that aims to provide positive messages to at-risk children who can be influenced by drugs, alcohol and gang activity.
The event has been held for the past 15 years.
