Help out the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resource Center Food Pantry and those they serve by joining in for Cranksgiving Columbus on November 14, 2020.
What is Cranksgiving?
It’s a food drive without the drive! Cranksgiving combines cycling and charity into a fun event where participants ride their bikes to purchase items that are donated to a local food pantry. The pandemic won’t stop us from helping those in need this holiday season!
In order to keep everyone safe, Cranksgiving will look a bit different this year. There will be no defined start time or location (please do not park at the CRC Food Pantry to begin your ride!) and unfortunately no after party. Organizers will provide you with a list of needed items to purchase, and some recommended stores. You can choose your own start time, route, distance to ride, and stores to visit.
Grab your bike, plus a backpack, basket, bike trailer, or other method in which you plan to carry the donations, and get rolling on November 14!
If you ride in groups with family or friends, keep one another’s safety in mind, and don’t forget your facemasks for while you shop and when you arrive at the pantry.
All items purchased by participants will be donated to the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center Food Pantry. This year riders will be dropping off items directly at the CRC Food Pantry, located at 14 W. Lakeview, Columbus, Ohio 43202. They will have staff on-site to receive donations between 10am and 1pm.
RSVP through EventBrite in order to receive the necessary ride information. Find more event details on the Facebook event page, or at the Columbus Cranksgiving Facebook page.
Cranksgiving aims to promote cycling as a mode of transit and make sure cyclists are well thought of in the community. Please be courteous when riding and follow the rules of the road. Questions? Please send an email to CranksgivingColumbus@gmail.com.
