It's my 12th year cycling the Hungry Lion, and for the second year, I'm driving to the other end of Vermont to help out.
This is a fundraiser by Lions for the community, because so many people are in need of food assistance. The numbers are frankly unnerving (one in five Americans are food insecure nowadays), but doesn't it feel good to be a part of the solution! So, let's have fun doing so. Over just the past three years, the little Lions club in the Deerfield Valley of southern Vermont has raised over $100,000 - and it is all applied directly to the community. It's astounding, good news, and so wonderfully helpful - feeding neighbors, while bringing a little joy.
Your contribution makes a difference! Thanks so much for your support. I appreciate it and so do a large number of folks in Vermont!

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!
