Part bike ride and part charitable donation food drive.
Cranksgiving 2023 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 11th, ride your bike to your local grocery store and pick up food items. Then ride your bike to The Bike Rack to drop them off between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Feel free to just drop off items or stay for the outdoor gathering. We will drop off your donations to the Salvation Army St. Charles (Tri-City) Corps in time for Thanksgiving distribution.
We will have a bike ride on the Great Western Trail between 12 and 2. Set your own mileage. You don't have to ride to drop off food.
The Bike Rack will be serving hot cider, coffee, and tea all day for Cranksgiving participants.
Starting at noon we will be serving tasty beverages from D&G Brewery as well.
A generous gift of $30 provides a holiday meal for a family of eight, complete with the staples to make a delicious, festive meal. If you would prefer to make a tax-deductible donation online instead
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.
