Thirty kids in Gardere just got a huge holiday surprise: brand new bikes, thanks to a local giveaway! What makes this even better is that they weren’t just handed the bikes—they learned how to ride safely and responsibly first. This kind of community effort, with help from Front Yard Bikes and the Gardere Initiative, isn’t just about gifts. It’s about building confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging for these kids. Imagine the smiles and the freedom of that first ride! How do you think programs like this shape our neighborhoods? #News #BatonRouge #CommunityMatters
