The Christmas Bike Program began more than 30 years ago with the idea of promoting the holiday spirit by giving away refurbished bicycles with new helmets to children in need in San Luis Obispo County.
Currently, the Sheriff’s Honor Farm is the assembly point for bicycles that are donated and in need of repair. Incarcerated persons working at the Honor Farm, along with the help and guidance of Bike SLO County, complete all of the repairs to the bicycles. This instills in them a positive work ethic, self-respect, and a sense of giving back to the community.
Individuals and businesses who wish to donate bicycles or new helmets in their original packaging can bring them to any of the Sheriff’s Office Patrol stations in Templeton, Los Osos, Oceano or to the Sheriff’s Honor Farm located at 880 Oklahoma Avenue in San Luis Obispo.
If you would like to make a monetary donation, please send your check to:
Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation
Attn: Bicycle Fund
P.O. Box 3752
San Luis Obispo, CA 93403
This year's Christmas Bicycle Giveaway is scheduled for the week of December 11.
