DISPATCH: HUNGER Charity Ride with SoulCycle

Support DISPATCH: HUNGER and join the band for a charity ride!

In our country today, 1 in 6 people struggles to put nutritious food on their table (46.2 million Americans); 1 in 5 children does not have enough to eat (16 million kids). This summer DISPATCH is standing up for a shared belief that food is a basic human right and that increasing access to food and economic resources is what gives people the power to exercise that right.



We are excited to announce a special event as a part of the DISPATCH: HUNGER campaign to make hunger visible in the United States. In honor of the effort, the Greenwich SoulCycle studio has offered to host a special charity ride. Join the band as they take a break from rehearsing for their upcoming shows at Madison Square Garden to work up a sweat. The class will be followed by a short acoustic set. Proceeds benefit the Center for Hunger-Free Communities and Witnesses to Hunger, the New York City Coalition Against Hunger, No Kid Hungry, and WhyHunger.

Bikes can be reserved by purchasing a ticket below. The first twenty bikes are priced at $75, remaining bikes are $50. Bikes will be assigned first come, first served and your bike number will be confirmed upon purchase. All proceeds support DISPATCH: HUNGER.

Note that all new riders must create accounts at SoulCycle online prior to their first class and additionally fill out a “New Rider Waiver Form.” Instructions for making an account will be sent upon registration. Forms can be filled out at the front desk upon check-in to class. Minors will need to have the “Minor New Rider Waiver Form” signed by a parent/legal guardian in order to ride in class.

Space is limited. Please print ticket from confirmation email for entry into the event.

About the campaign

DISPATCH: HUNGER strives to make hunger visible in our country, transform the way we think about fighting hunger, and increase access for all. Through fan engagement, awareness-building events and fundraising initiatives, we aim to inspire a citizen movement to join a broad-based social movement that works to end hunger through combating the root causes of poverty, inequality and injustice.



H unger is a major concern for a substantial number of American families. A number of economic factors contribute to income inequality and make it difficult for people to adequately feed themselves and their families, forcing growing numbers to rely on public and private assistance programs. 14. 3 percent of all households – 17.5 million households or 46.2 million people – are "food insecure" the U.S. government's term for categorizing those who are hungry or at risk of hunger. Together, we will stand up for a shared belief that food is a basic human right and that increasing access to food and economic resources is what gives people the power to exercise that right.
