​What is Cranksgiving?

​​Cranksgiving is a food drive on two wheels: part bike ride, part food drive, and part scavenger hunt. It’s been held annually in New York City since 1999. Every year, throughout the country, Cranksgiving events help provide thousands of needy families with a wealth of food during the week of Thanksgiving.

How Does It Work?

Participants bring a bike, a helmet, a bag, a lock, their internal GPS, and around $20-$30 to buy food and/or other necessities from a provided list. Riders will need to make required stops at specific stores as well as some optional stops all while trying to make it back in the fastest time! (Riders can also simply take their time and enjoy the ride if they so choose). Don't forget your receipt(s) as they will be needed to tally your items at the end so that you can be eligible for the raffle! 

​Biking for a Good Cause

All of the items and donations collected during the event will go to the CommUnity Crisis Services and Food Bank and Table to Table in Iowa City so that those in need of their services can have a hearty Thanksgiving feast. Don't wish to ride but instead would rather simply donate? You can! Simply click on the "Donate" button at the top of this page, or gift your donation directly on event day.
