Joining a national effort to end hunger, Saunders & Associates presents the first annual Hamptons “Cranksgiving” food drive to be held on Saturday, November 22. It was announced on NBC’s "Today Show" that one of the show’s anchors would participate in the East Hampton leg of this national effort, accompanied by cameras to document the ride. Participants will bicycle through a pre-arranged route, stopping at four different Hamptons grocery stores for opportunities to purchase non-perishable foods to be donated to the East Hampton Food Pantry.
This year, the East Hampton Food Pantry plans to feed more than 31,000 people in Amagansett, East Hampton, Montauk, Springs, and Wainscott. The “Cranksgiving” ride will contribute immense aid to this incredible effort.
There is no entry fee for the event, and all food items collected will be donated to the East Hampton Food Pantry. A bicycle, helmet and a small backpack are required to ride. Free gifts will be provided to the first 50 participants who register at 10 AM. The ride begins at 11 AM, kicking off at East Hampton Middle School.
The footage captured by NBC cameras will air on the "Today Show" on Monday, November 24. Find out more by visiting www.HamptonsCranksgiving.com.
