Are you registered for Will Bike 4 Food on September 20th – or thinking about it? Join the Food Bank and WB4F alumni cyclists at a Fundraising Meet-Up on Thursday, August 20th from 6:00-8:00 PM. Hosted at Northampton Bicycle and Speakeasy, this free event will bring together experienced fundraisers and those new to Will Bike 4 Food. Cyclists of all ages are welcome! 
 
Will Bike 4 Food, presented by Stop & Shop, is an annual fundraiser for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. Returning for our 16th year, this event brings together cyclists of all ages and skill levels to pedal toward a hunger-free future. Cyclists choose a 4-mile, 12-mile, 25-mile, 50-mile, or 100-mile scenic route through the Connecticut River Valley and fundraise individually or with a team of friends, family, or co-workers.

What to Expect at the Meet-Up: Alumni cyclists and fundraisers will recount their ride experiences, share tips on fundraising and preparation, and offer advice for making the most of your Will Bike 4 Food participation. The Food Bank will also announce the top teams and fundraisers as of August 20th. WB4F merchandise will be for sale, and yard signs will be available for supporters. Stop & Shop will provide snacks, and the Food Bank will cover the first drink for attendees.
