14 Locals Play Santa for Families in Need
Local families and businesses from all over San Clemente gave Urban Bicycle Outfitters money to buy bikes for the Spark of Love toy drive.
At least 14 local kids from families who may not be able to afford flashy Christmas presents will be feeling the love this Saturday.
That's when Pete van Nuys of Urban Bicycle Outfitters and North Beach local George Gregory will be turning over bicycles purchased with donations from the community.
They'll be distributed by the Orange County Fire Authority as part of the agency's annual Spark of Love toy drive held in conjunction with local television stations.
