Cranksgiving 2024 is Saturday, November 23, 2024 at Zion Lutheran Church, 1697 Lafond Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104. Registration opens at noon and riders are released at 1 PM.
Cranksgiving is a bicycle powered food drive. Participants are given a list of stores, then they plot a route and go from store to store, purchasing items at each store to donate to the food outreach program at Zion Lutheran Church. Riders may choose to ride solo or as part of a team. Prizes are awarded for fastest individuals and team, most generous individual and team, and DFL (Dead Friggin Last). We also have donated merchandise worth over $2000 to give to participants and volunteers.
Want to donate but don’t want to ride a bicycle? Walk from Zion Lutheran Church to one or two nearby places and purchase items to donate, or simply stop by the church between noon and 4 PM and bring items to donate. You may also donate cash to the cause.
All items and cash donated will be used by Zion Lutheran Church to prepare weekly meals served to anyone who shows up on Thursday afternoons. All Thursday meals are free. Zion also works with a local food rescue to distribute bags of perishable items to attendees, again without charge. Zion’s goal is to reduce food insecurity in our community.
For more information, please call us between 9 AM and 9 PM at 651-641-1037. We hope to see you at Cranksgiving 2024.
