Open Table is again partnering with Three Squares New England in the annual Ride for Food. Due to the current health crisis and social distancing guidelines, this year’s ride has gone virtual… so, choose your preferred activity and join in the fight for hunger-relief.
There are no fundraising minimums, but we still hope that you will set your own personal goal and use your best efforts to reach it. And Three Squares will reward you for your efforts! All participants who raise $1,250 are eligible to receive a COVETED unique bike jersey, designed by a young local artist. For the non-cyclists, they’ll have a Ride for Food – Off the Beaten Path jacket to sport.
Why Ride?
- 4th highest rent in the nation
- 4th highest cost of child care
- Utility costs 57% higher due to our older housing stock and long cold winters and
- 6th highest cost of employer provided health care in the country.
- A person making minimum wage $11.00 per hour would need to work 80 hours per week to afford the average two bedroom apartment.
How You can Help Today
