Annual Meat Grinder Cycling Event to Raise Funds for
Mennonite Central Committee's Mobile Meat Canner
 Lowville, NY – The Meat
Grinder: A Ride with a Purpose, an eagerly anticipated annual road
cycling event, is set to take place once again with the important goal of
raising funds to bring the Mennonite Central Committee's (MCC) mobile meat
canner to Maple Ridge Center in Lowville, NY, this Labor Day Weekend. For
the second consecutive year, Meat Grinder Lewis County is proud to partner
with the Adirondack Foothills Cycling Club to make this event a resounding
success.
The Meat Grinder
is more than just an exhilarating cycling event; it is a community effort
to support a crucial cause. The MCC mobile meat canner provides canned meat
for communities in need around the world, and the funds raised through this
event will help ensure its arrival in Lowville in 2025.
Cyclists from all
over are invited to participate in this year's event, which promises to be
both demanding and rewarding. With a variety of routes designed to cater to
different skill levels, from beginners to seasoned riders, the Meat Grinder
offers something for everyone. Participants will traverse the picturesque
roads of Lewis County, experiencing the beauty of the Adirondack Foothills
while contributing to a vital humanitarian cause.
"We
are thrilled to once again partner with the Adirondack Foothills Cycling
Club for the Meat Grinder," said Jeremy Kelly, Chair of Meat Grinder
Lewis County. "This event not only challenges cyclists but also brings
our community together to support the MCC's mission of providing essential
food supplies to those in need. We are grateful for the continued support
and participation from cyclists and sponsors alike."
Rebecca Paté-Johnson, Board Member of the Adirondack Foothills
Cycling Club, added, "Partnering with Meat Grinder Lewis County aligns
perfectly with our club's values of promoting cycling and community
engagement. We are excited to help raise funds for such an important cause
and look forward to seeing cyclists of all ages and abilities join us for
this year's event."
The Meat Grinder
event will take place on Saturday, August 31, starting at 9:00 am from The
Maple Ridge Center in Lowville, NY. Registration is now open, and
participants can sign up online at Meat Grinder: A Ride With A Purpose Online Registration

bringing the MCC mobile meat canner to Maple Ridge Center and to The
Adirondack Foothills Cycling Clubs All Kids Bike Program.
