Join my coworkers and I in supporting the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts’ 16th Annual Will Bike 4 Food, presented by Stop & Shop.

On Sunday, September 20th I plan to bike 25 miles to raise money for food banks in Western Massachusetts. Each year, riders, volunteers, and supporters come together to take action against hunger and ensure our community has access to the food they need to thrive.

This year, the Food Bank is working toward a $300,000 fundraising goal, which is critical to sustaining programs that support hundreds of local food pantries, meal sites, and partner organizations throughout Western Massachusetts. Every dollar raised helps the Food Bank source and distribute nourishing food, respond to rising food insecurity, and strengthen the local food system.

My goal is to reach $200 which provides at least 400 nutritious meals to people facing food insecurity and hunger.
