Part bike ride and part charitable donation food drive.
Cranksgiving 2025 is almost here! Whether you ride with us or on your own, we can make a difference. When you ride in this year’s Cranksgiving, you’ll be helping the Salvation Army St. Charles (Tri-City) Corps provide meals to local families in need.
Special Cranksgiving Day deals in store for participants.
You in? Here’s what you have to do!
On November 8th, ride your bike to your local grocery store and pick up food items. Then ride your bike to here to drop them off during the normal business hours. Feel free to just drop off items or stay for the gathering from 12 to 5. We will drop your donations off at the Salvation Army St. Charles (Tri-City) Corps in time for Thanksgiving distribution.
We will be doing a 12 mile ride from 12 to 2 weather permitting.
You don't have to ride to drop off food.
We will be serving hot cider and coffee all day for Cranksgiving participants.
Starting at noon we will be serving refreshments and chili as well.
This is YOUR grocery-getting adventure. So stuff those panniers with stuffing, strap that turkey into your bike trailer, and grab all the green beans you can carry.
Cranksgiving is an event that occurs in over 100 cities across the United States, Canada and the UK. Visit www.cranksgiving.org for more information.
