You will want to use extra caution on Saturday, April 25th, when traversing our roadways.  Over 300 cyclists will be riding the road in a fundraiser to help end hunger in Calvert County.  The organization End Hunger In Calvert County (EHCC) is sponsoring the event.  More than 30 Calvert businesses and community leaders have united together, forming the End Hunger In Calvert County organization.  The group hopes to one day end the sad tale of American families struggling to grace their table with food.
 
The cyclists are on a mission to bring awareness to the needs of less fortunate families in the way of basic food supplies.  They are also working to raise $10,000 to replenish the food shelves at various food panties in Calvert County.  Over 300 cyclists will be participating in the event.  The End Hunger In Calvert County organization is being joined by riders from Calvert County and even as far away as the state of Maine.
 
The current recession has placed many more families at risk.  Support organizations have seen a 40% increase in those needing assistance.  This is not only true in Calvert County, but all over the nation as well.  You can still join in the End Hunger in Calvert County Ride by signing up at the EHCC website.  You do not have to be a pro to be a rider.  There are four established trails.  There is a 62 mile trail for the experienced riders, 48 and 33 mile trails for intermediates and a 15 mile trail for those who just want to ride for the cause and the enjoyment of riding.  The trails begin and end at the Chesapeake Chruch campus.  There is a registration fee of $35 until April 15th.  The fee will go up to $50 on April 16th.  So, hurry and sign up now.
 
If you are not into riding, you can still help the cause by donating food items or cash funds to the End Hunger In Calvert County organization.  Learn how you can help by going to http://www.endhungercalvert.org/how_you_can_help.html.
 
Remember everyone: drive with extra care on April 25th.  We want everyone to return home safely.
