Open Hands Midway is excited to share our 'Miles for Meals' fundraiser is back in 2026! This fundraiser is held to raise awareness, and secure monetary donations, for the meal programs of Open Hands Midway.

​

In June of this year, our Executive Director will be retiring. She LOVES to ride her bicycle and is thrilled to once again put her joy of riding to use as a means of providing meals on a weekly basis for the guests we serve. She says, "In honor of my time here, this ride is a gift I would like to give back to Open Hands Midway. This will be a celebration for me as I still have a passion for Open Hands Midway."

​

Each week we serve approximately 320 meals combined on Monday and Wednesday. Making those meals is not a cheap undertaking which is why we are excited about this fundraiser to help our neighbors in need. From May 1 to October 31 you can be a part of providing the basic life necessity of food for people you may never meet. Our goal is to raise $4,000.00 and our Executive Director (soon to be Executive Director Emerita) is committed to riding 4,000 miles!

​

An anonymous donor has agreed to gift Open Hands Midway $500.00 per month IF we can raise $500.00 per month for a total of $3,000.00 over the course of the 6 month fundraiser. 

​

It is our hope that you will consider a donation anytime between May 1 and October 31 to help offset the costs we incur. If you are a bicyclist yourself, why not commit to riding AND making a donation? There is an option to do so on the donation form you can access by clicking on the 'Miles for Meals' banner above. Fill out the form and mail it to the address listed. If you wish to donate online you can do so by clicking any of the blue DONATE NOW buttons on our website. We are ever grateful for your generosity and look forward to sharing more on the progress of the 'Miles for Meals' ride during the dates listed.
