Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced nominations are now being accepted for his 32nd annual Christmas Bicycle Giveaway. Since 1992, more than 5,700 bicycles have been distributed to families in need in our area, including 225 in 2024 alone.

Anyone who knows a family in need can nominate a child by submitting information online LPSO.net/BikeGiveaway. Requests should be limited to no more than two bicycles per family, and a separate form should be filled out for each child. Families must live in Lafourche Parish. Sheriff Webre will make every effort to fulfill all requests, but not every person requesting a bike will receive one. Families will be informed whether they have been selected on the date of delivery, which will occur before Christmas.

Donations from the public will help fulfill these requests. Monetary donations and donations of new bikes are accepted at all LPSO office locations. Monetary donations are accepted in the form of cash, money orders, 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. For more information about making a donation, contact Captain Brennan Matherne at brennan-matherne@lpso.net or call (985) 632-5843.
