Following up on its huge success of the last 5 years, the Montclair Bikery’s 5th Annual Turkey Ride to collect turkeys for the Human Needs Food Pantry took place on Sunday, Nov. 19, 2017. Cyclists met at the Montclair Bikery at 145 Valley Road at 9:00 a.m. and rode 15-mile circuitous route to the Brookdale Shoprite on Broad Street, Bloomfield to buy turkeys.
This year, 255 frozen turkeys were delivered by bike to the Human Needs Food Pantry, along with $14,523 in donations, which was then matched by Partners for Health Foundation, resulting in a $29,046 donation to the pantry!
