🚴‍♂️ Mike Is On His Way! 🚴‍♂️

Yesterday morning, we had the chance to send off .franceschelli11 as he began his 100-mile ride to Martha's Vineyard in support of the Wakefield Food Pantry.

We're thrilled to share that Mike has already raised more than $5,000 to help provide food and essential items to local families and individuals facing food insecurity.

Thank you, Mike, for taking on this incredible challenge and for supporting our community. We wish you a safe and successful ride!
