LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — An organization that has provided bicycles to community members who have suffered loss during previous fires in Lake County is once again swinging into action to help those impacted by the Cache fire.
Bike Angels United will host the Cache Fire Survivors Bike Giveaway event from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at Lower Lake Elementary School, 9240 Lake St.
The giveaway is for all Cache fire survivors, from children to seniors.
The Cache fire broke out in the city of Clearlake on Aug. 18.
It burned 83 acres, and destroyed 56 homes and 81 outbuildings.
Candy Alcott formed the all-volunteer Bike Angels United group in response to the 2015 Valley fire.
Since then, however, there have been several giveaways that have provided hundreds of bicycles to survivors of Lake County’s numerous wildland fire disasters.
According to the group’s website, this will be the eighth Bike Angels giveaway, with more than 1,400 bicycles given away to date.
To receive donations in the October giveaway event — or to offer assistance and contributions — contact Alcott at 850-375-8492 or alcottcandy@gmail.com .
Donations also can be made online at the Bike Angels United website.
