Greek business in NT donates kids bikes to Salvation Army for Christmas

·

Ten years ago, NT Greek owned company, Halikos group, started supporting the Salvation Army by providing children and teens with goods including food, chocolates, toys and push bikes. This festive season, the tradition continues with yet another donation, The Advertiser reports.

In fact, 30 bikes were assembled by the company’s staff and were donated to children and families in need.

Salvation Army NT’s PR manager, Sally Courtney, thanked the group and said that “without the generous support of a number of local businesses and community clubs, we would not be in the position to have enough toys and gifts to meet the increasing demand each Christmas”.

“Children and teenagers all love to own a bike and they can be expensive to buy, particularly for families that have several children, therefore we are extremely grateful to have these donated by Halikos Construction,” she said.
