St. Pete police give out 200 bikes
December 8, 2022 - Thanks to the generosity of Alex and Kacy DeJesus and the St. Pete Fools Charities, 200 needy kids will have new bicycles this Christmas. The St. Petersburg police department handed out the bikes Tuesday night at a special holiday event. The kids picked out the bicycle of their choice, and officers provided helmets, locks and lights. According to a release, the program started Dec. 20, 2019, when Alex DeJesus spotted an officer buying a bike for a teen in a Walmart check-out lane.
