Cranksgiving is Worcester’s annual food drive on two wheels! Part bike ride, part scavenger hunt, and part community fundraiser, this event brings cyclists together to support local food pantries just in time for the holidays.
Riders can participate solo or as part of a team, racing (or cruising!) around Worcester to collect non-perishable food items from a list of grocery stores and bonus stops. Each stop earns points, and the team or individual with the most points wins — but the real victory is helping feed our community.
What to Bring:
A bike, a bag, and a lock
Around $10–$20 to purchase food items to donate
A sense of adventure and community spirit!
What to Expect:
Fun and creative challenges across the city
A mix of competition, teamwork, and giving back
All donations go directly to local organizations fighting food insecurity in Worcester
This event is a sliding scale donation, but throw us like 5 bucks lmao. It’s open to all skill levels, and a great way to kick off the holiday season with purpose. Ride for fun. Ride for food. Ride for Worcester.
