BIKES OR BUST 2007

Matching Helmet Donation

In 2005, Wal-Mart and the Salvation Army teamed up on the Bikes or Bust Program to provide truckloads of bicycles to displaced Gulf Coast residents. Untold numbers of bicycles, tricycles and scooters were washed away in Katrina’s wake and 2005 Bikes or Bust helped replace some of those bicycles lost.

For 2006, Hope Has A Face purchased almost 1,000 tricycles to match bicycle donations from Wal-Mart, which were distributed by The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program.

In 2007, Hope Has A Face provided Wal-mart helmets to match bicycles sold at the Biloxi and Gulfport store drives, giving a little safer Christmas to hundreds of Gulf Coast children.
