Welcome to our fundraising page for the 9th annual Will Bike 4 Food, which we look forward to riding in late September. This fun and active cyling event--our ride will be a total of 36 hilly miles RT--helps raise funds and awareness for The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. Every $1 raised will provide 3 meals for a neighbor in need. Contributions of any size to our efforts to help address food insecurity in Western MA are appreciated, and all donations are tax deductible.
Thank you!

Since 1982, The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has been feeding our neighbors in need and leading the community to end hunger. We distribute food to our member agencies in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties. These independent pantries, meal sites and shelters are on the front lines of emergency food assistance in our region, playing a crucial role helping individuals, families, seniors and children. Every $1 donated to The Food Bank can purchase 4 meals for a family who needs them most.
