Dear Friends,
While I love to ride my bike and eat good food, I know many in Vermont don't have enough food to eat. On September 24, 2022, I will ride my bIcycle through 50 miles of the Green Mountains and Berkshires to enjoy this beautiful area and, more importantly, to help those facing food insecurity.
Any support you can give to my participation in the Hungry Lion Bike Tour will help the Deerfield Valley Lions feed its community. The Lions team up with the local Rotary Club to hand deliver food, fill food bank cupboards, and donate funds to the cause.
Your contribution can make a difference! I appreciate it and so do a large number of folks in Vermont!
If you would like to find out more about this program please visit HungryLionBikeTour.com.
Thank you,
Liz Muller

Each year, our local LIONS CLUB works hard to raise funds for our neighbors in need by sponsoring The Hungry Lion Bike Tour , one of Southern Vermont’s premier cycling events, typically attracting hundreds of riders, friends and family members to our region. We are able to run this professional-caliber event thanks to dedicated volunteers AND the enthusiastic contributions from participants and their sponsors! Our 2022 Event will be held in person with a Virtual Option for those not able to attend in person. We've also added an option for folks who would like to walk/hike!
