Welcome to my fundraising page for the 8th annual Will Bike 4 Food! Will Bike 4 Food is a fun and active cyling event that helps raise funds and awareness for The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. Every $1 raised will provide three meals to a neighbor in need. As a kid I knew what it was like to be hungry even though my father worked tremendously hard to have our basic needs met. Had it not been for the safety net of organizations and community we wouldn't have had what we needed. As a kid I also fell in love with my very first bicycle at the age of 6. My dad worked overtime to make certain that I was able to have the same experiences as other kids in being able to ride my bike around the neighborhood. Today I cycle for the love of connecting with the outdoors and friends - and am honored to be able to give my time, energy, and physical self over to this worthy cause. Contributions to my efforts are appreciated. 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.
