Salvation Army Capts. Doug and Kim Winters, at far back left and far back right, respectively, are shown with staff at Marthaler Automotive, who are posing with 22 new children’s bicycles that the dealership donated to the Salvation Army of Marquette County on Monday afternoon. Marthaler General Manager Nikki Remilong, who is pictured at back, left of the tree said: “The bikes will support families in need this holiday season. This is a tradition that Public Service Garage started and then we just continued it on. So many families are struggling, and there’s a lot of people that are in need this year, more so than other years, and we just want to try and help.” The Cheer Club, which kicked off Nov. 27, collects unwrapped toys and gifts to be donated to local children and families in need during the holiday season. Gifts are distributed to local families through St. Vincent de Paul and The Salvation Army of Marquette County. Gifts can be dropped off at: The Mining Journal office in downtown Marquette; St. Vincent de Paul in Marquette; Range Bank locations in Marquette, Harvey and Negaunee; Salvation Army locations in Ishpeming and Marquette; and Ace Hardware in Gwinn. A donation box is in the vestibule of The Mining Journal office along West Washington Street. If you would like your photo taken with your donation, please ring the buzzer near the exterior door and a masked Journal staff member will take your photo from a safe distance. Photos are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. (Journal photo by Ryan Spitza)
