Foster Santa gives bikes and new toys to foster kids in Fresno

Credits: 

Over a thousand foster children need your help this holiday. You can help EMQ FamiliesFirst provide new bikes, gifts and holiday parties for foster children throughout California.

Remember your first bike? With its shiny paint and gleaming wheels - you just couldn't wait to ride it, couldn't wait to feel the wind in your face and see the road blur beneath your feet.

No one ever forgets their first bicycle, and for kids who've had a rough start in life, a bicycle can literally be a symbol of a freedom they've never had before. And if that bike comes straight from jolly old Santa, it's the gift a child will always remember.

Every year since 1974, FamiliesFirst has hosted the FamiliesFirst "Foster Santa" Parties to bring the joy of a new bicycle to hundreds of children in need. FamiliesFirst "Foster Santa" is funded 100% by community donations.

Your gift will be used to purchase the bicycles, helmets and locks that can create holiday magic for foster children.

This year, you can be Santa's Helper, too. Donate now.
