Through our annual Christmas Bicycle Giveaway, Sheriff Craig Webre donates bicycles to children in need throughout the parish who might not otherwise receive a Christmas gift. Since 1992, we have delivered around 5,200 bicycles to children all over Lafourche Parish.
This program is funded 100% through donations from generous members of the public, local businesses and nonprofit organizations. Donations are accepted year-round and may be in the form of a new bike or a monetary donation. Monetary donations are accepted in the form of cash, money order, or checks made payable to the Lafourche Deputies Association with the words “Bike Giveaway” in the memo line. Bicycles and monetary donations may be dropped off at any Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office location throughout the parish.
Anyone who knows of a child in need can submit information online through THIS FORM. The form will collect information such as the child’s name, age, gender, and physical address, as well as contact information for the parent or legal guardian. Due to high demand, requests should be limited to no more than two bicycles per family, and children must live in Lafourche Parish.
LPSO will make every effort to fulfill every request, but it is possible that not every person requesting a bike will receive one.
