Cleveland’s cycling community is once again gathering food for disadvantaged families and senior citizens this holiday season! Bike Cleveland is pleased to present Cranksgiving, a food drive by bicycle. There is no cost to join the event, but cyclists usually spend about $20 (or however much you can) on food and supplies for others. Don't forget to bring a lock for your stops and the post-ride social time!How does Cranksgiving work? Riders of all ages and skill levels receive a map of nearby grocery stores and are challenged to ride their bikes – regardless of weather -- to one or more of the stores to purchase the needed items specified for each. Everything purchased must be hauled by bicycle, either in a bag, pannier, rack, or trailer. You will return to donate the food you collected to benefit those in need this holiday season. Be prepared to spend about $20 (or however much you can) and ride up to fifteen miles.
Want to contribute even more? Clean out your pantry and bring non perishable food items to the event. Organize a mini-food drive at your work or in your neighborhood. Or, if you cannot attend, you can make a direct donation to the Hunger Network for Cranksgiving.
Can't make the event? We'll miss you, but you can still help by making a $$ donation directly to the Hunger Network for Cranksgiving.
