What we will be doing: Food items collected by cyclists will be distributed by The Food Bank of Siouxland. The Food Bank of Siouxland services 11 counties in Northwestern Iowa. Food items collected by cyclists will help provide a warm meal for individuals and families in need on Thanksgiving. Your part will be to collect these items while riding your bike from grocery store to grocery store. You will pick up one item at each grocery store before heading to the next. You will need at least 4 items. You will need to keep your receipt that shows only one item per grocery store. All riders will be expected to wear helmets and abide by the rules of the road. This is a fun way for local cyclists to give back to the community.
I can't be there, how can I help? Bins for food and money donations will be at local Cycle Shops In Sioux City and LeMars. Starting Nov 1st there will be Food Bank of Siouxland blue barrels at Albrecht Cycle Shop in Sioux City and Bike Central in LeMars. You can drop off any food items and money donations from November 1-18.
