Sparky at Cranksgiving 2024Join the world’s largest pedal-powered food drive on Saturday, October 24th, 2026. This is always a super fun event and we’re excited to do it again! Just like last year, PVPP will meet at Freeze Thaw Cycles at 9:30am, leaving at 9:40am to head over to sign in and prep for the 10am sign in. Cranksgiving 2026 starts with a group photo 10:30 a.m. You’ll then be tasked with riding to local State College Grocery Stores to bring back food to donate to the local Food Bank. It’s fun and supports the Centre County Youth Service Bureau.

Here’s a photo of our very own PVPP rider, Sparky, with the 2024 record pull!

It’s FREE to REGISTER!
EVENT LINK: https://cranksgivingstatecollege.com/

You just need a bike, helmet, bike lock, $25+ to purchase food, and backpack/bag(s). E-bikes and bike trailers are welcome! Go to as many grocery stores as you want! Volunteers may be available to haul your purchases.
