Golden Valley Head Start Christmas Bicycle Giveaway
Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) Golden Valley Head Start students proudly pose after they received early Christmas presents and bicycles at a party held at the Golden Valley Fire District (GVFD) Public Safety Training Center at 423 S. Colorado Road. The head start program for children ages three through five located at the Black Mountain School, received 20 bicycles (some children were not present for the giveaway, but will receive their presents and bikes) from an anonymous donor and the presents were donated by Valley Pioneer Water Company customers. GVFD helped assemble the bicycles, provided the venue to Head Start for their bicycle giveaway and also assisted with passing out the bikes during the event.
