This year Mark Wiewel his continuing the ‘Bike for Food Pantries” Program independently. His goal is to help these food pantries increase their donations of cash, checks, food, personal hygiene products, school supplies, etc. through is cycling efforts and advertising.
Mark will personally match a portion of the total donations received by each of the 6 Bike for Food Pantries in 2020, that are marked with the word ‘BIKE”, or are attributed to the fund raiser as determined by each food pantry director. Checks should be made payable to the food pantry, include the word “BIKE” and mailed directly to the food pantry. In addition to checks; food pantries will also accept cash, food, personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies and school supplies. Donations are always needed and very much appreciated.

Scripture reading from the book of James on “Faith and Good Deeds”
“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” James 2:14-17 NLT.
