A photo posted to Reddit is going viral: A Hells Angels member waits patiently at a Walmart customer service desk on Black Friday — apparently after waiting in line for five days.

Gang members purchased all of the store’s bicycles, then donated them to Poverello House, an organization that serves the hungry and homeless in Fresno, California. The gifts will be distributed to local needy children at Christmas.

According to the Inquisitr, the Angels’ toy run is a longstanding tradition. For about 16 years, the biker gang has been dropping off bikes and toys for needy kids at Poverello House.

The biker gang also holds an annual toy drive for the home.

“People read what they want to read, and believe what they want to believe, we believe in these kids. We want to make sure to bring these toys here for these kids to have a great Christmas,” Merl Hefferman, secretary of the Fresno Hells Angels, told KMPH back in 2010.

"This really helps us to be able to provide a child a toy, most of the families that come here, the only gift they’ll get for Christmas is from the Poverello House," Kathryn Weakland, former director of development and communications at the Poverello House, said at the time.

In 2012, thanks in part to the Angels’ generosity, Poverello House was able to give away 4,000 gifts on Christmas morning.
