Pedaling Relief Project
Delivering food by bike to food-insecure neighbors. Our mission is to engage in crisis response on a neighborhood level and to establish long-term community resiliency by creating or expanding Mutual Aid networks, all from the seat of a cargo-carrying bicycle. Plus it’s just dang fun to ride your bike with a purpose!

Frequently Asked Questions
Racks with bags, baskets, bike trailers, backpacks, and cargo bikes are all fine. If you don't currently have a way to carry cargo on your bike, please feel free to fill out the rest of this form as we have bike trailers that are available at all of our partner food banks for volunteers to borrow.
For the time being, yes, we are asking volunteers to fill out all forms that match the volunteer opportunity they are interested in. We are currently working on a new volunteer event registration system, so stay tuned for those updates!
