BILLINGS - Hundreds of bikers with the International Star Riding Group came to Billings to hold their Annual "Feed The Children" event.

Bikers from across the country raised money for a year and gathered Thursday to hand out more than 80,000 pounds of food and toys. The group partnered with Family Services to give to nearly 800 families in the area. Bernice Henry is the mother of eight and lost her Shepherd home to a fire in February. She says the donations will go a long way.

"This is just awesome to see all these people get together and help us. There's a lot of families that need help right now, so it really means a lot to us."

"The nice thing about this and doing the food drop is that we can see where the money goes. We see the faces of the children and the families as they get the food and load up their cars," says Ron Greene, Director of Star Touring and Riding Group.

The event was part of a 4-day rally for the group. Nearly 1,000 motorcyclists participate each year.
