Description:
Cranksgiving is a bicycle scavenger hunt and food drive, and these events take place across the nation during the month of November to benefit local charities as they prepare for Thanksgiving. The 13th edition of Cranksgiving Tampa will continue to benefit Metropolitan Ministries.
 
So far, Cranksgiving Tampa has donated more than 19,400 total pounds of food, including 554 turkeys, to Metropolitan Ministries. We'll also be having a raffle again - this year, all of our raffle proceeds will continue to go to Reach St. Pete and their mobile Pop-Up Pantry, which provides fresh groceries free of cost to those who live in food deserts. This local nonprofit was founded in 2016 with the goal of bridging the gap between people and the resources they need to help prevent and alleviate homelessness, low-income, and at-risks situations. We've donated $9,600 to local charities through our raffle.
 
With the devastation and flooding brought by Hurricane Helene to the Tampa Bay area and beyond, this year's event will be especially meaningful as our local charities are doing everything they can to help those displaced by this major storm. Our goal is to collect the most food and money yet from any of our events.
