“Our purpose is to come together and some monies and collect toys for the underprivileged children here in the city of Zanesville Muskingum County. Rushing Wind Biker Church and all of the motorcycle clubs and all of the motorcycle riders have come together to hook up with the Salvation Army to make that possible,” Pastor McGuire stated.

Once all the toys are given to the Salvation Army, they will be able to distribute them to the children in the community. Pastor McGuire talked about how this type of event came about for the church.

“Rushing Wind Biker Church started in 2010. We just thought it was a good idea to start something where we can get into the motorcycle community and present the gospel to a lot of the bikers and the clubs in the area, but just partnering up with them today for the Motorcyclist for Kids Toy Drive just makes it all possible, it’s awesome, it’s great. We’ve raised a lot of money, we’ve got a lot of toys here,” Pastor McGuire said.

The toy drive followed with a bike parade that lead to the Zanesville downtown area.
