WINNSBORO – When Fairfield County resident Asa Sampson made a Facebook post expressing his desire to help local families at Christmas with a bike giveaway on Nov. 22, he sparked an outpouring of community support. The initial goal of 15 bikes quickly grew into a larger project, involving donated bikes and helmets.

Held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21, the giveaway was so popular that every bike was claimed within 40 minutes. Sampson’s daughter, Asia, celebrated her birthday by giving back, personally handing out the first bicycle.

After all the bikes were gone, Sampson returned to Facebook to express deep gratitude to the donors and volunteers who helped make the holiday special.
