Black Hills Area Bikers wrap gifts for the forgotten

They put aside their motorcycles to wrap gifts for those who are often forgotten during the holiday season. Members of the group Black Hills Area Bikers were wrapping presents Tuesday evening for more than 160 residents who live in health care facilities.

The organization is made up of 12 different motorcycle groups in the Black Hills who raise money all year long to shop for the forgotten at Christmastime. The group's president says their goal is to make sure no one is left out and to make sure everyone has a Merry Christmas.

President of Black Hills Area Bikers Darlene Gilby says, "These are people that don't have family left anymore. A lot of our people are in their 80's and 90's, some younger ones, but if we don't give them presents, they don't get anything. And when they have their Christmas events, then they sit there by themselves and we don't want that."

All the gifts will be delivered to the health care facilities by a member of the group by December 15th.
