Cranksgiving 2024
Save the date for the annual Cranksgiving Ride 2024 in beautiful Amish Country Pennsylvania, Saturday November 2th 2024. Pedal your bike through scenic rolling farmland, pass Amish families on horse and buggies, and ride through covered bridges. This years route also includes a section of the Warwick-to-Ephrata rail trail. The WERT was voted the ‘Best rail trail in PA’ by visitpa.com. As always, Cranksgiving Lititz is 100% free to participate and ride. The ride will stop at 3 grocery stores along the 30-mile route, and each grocery store will have boxes for collecting all the items you purchase and donate (no carrying items on your bike :)). Speaking of donating, this is our 10th year hosting Cranksgiving! All participants are encouraged to register in advance.
Cranksgiving Ride 2024 is sponsored by Stauffers of Kissel Hill. All donations and food purchases during the Cranksgiving Ride 2024 will go directly to Manheim Central Food Pantry Ephrata Area Social Services. Both organizations will distribute the food to families and individuals in need during the holidays.
Stick around after your ride and enjoy some fresh spring rolls.
Ephrata Area Social Services and Manheim Food Pantry are non-profit volunteer organizations supporting neighbors in need throughout the Lititz and Manheim area, as well as Ephrata and Cocalico regions of Northern Lancaster County. Their assistance programs include the Central PA Food Bank, Hand UP Exchange Food & Clothing Bank, Ephrata/Cocalico Meals on Wheels, Transportation Services, and Community Support Services. Their mission is to empower and connect neighbors in order to build a more vibrant community. Together, they can build a stronger community for all.
Thank you to everyone who helps make Cranksgiving Lititz the great ride that it is, we look forward to seeing you this year!
