In less than 5 days, over 140 men, women and a couple of youngsters will be heading out on a 2-day, 140-mile bike ride to raise funds and awareness for Moveable Feast. This Maryland based charity provides groceries and prepared meals to their clients AND their families. The 9 cyclists and 3 crew members of TWAP are dedicated to this cause and are dedicated to doing this 140 mile trek on their bikes.
On Saturday, we set out for just over 100 miles across the eastern shore of Maryland on our bikes (well, the crew members will be driving) to help this effort and raise some awareness. Over the past several months we have had bar nights, bake sales, raffles and spread the word and hoped to encourage people to support us and our ride. TWAP is currently at about $7600 and needs another $3200 to go to reach our goal and provide meals to 9 people for an entire year. We need your help to get there.
Any amount you donate will make a big difference into the lives of the clients of Moveble Feast because it only costs them $3 to provide one meal. Think of that, you can feed one person for one day with a $10 donation! Or two days worth of meals for $20! $50 will feed someone for almost one week!
Please share this with people and encourage them to support our ride!
Thanks for your time,
Pete Castro

TWAP's first bake sale of the season and LAST bake sale at the Waverly Farmers Market
On behalf of the members of Team With A Purpose I would like to thank you for your support at our annual bake sales over the last couple of years, which have raised thousands of dollars for Moveable Feast. We had a good run! But due to circumstances beyond our control, TWAP will no longer be allowed to hold bake sales at Waverly Farmers Market. This Saturday,TOMORROW, will be our final TWAP bake sale at the 32nd Street Farmers Market in Waverly.
Some TWAP members may be returning to the market on May 1 and 8 to distribute literature, and maybe hold a raffle, but we are also looking for other venues willing to host bake sales on these days. Keep an eye out for future announcements - we're still hoping to hold bakes sales on May 1 and 8 at different locations in Baltimore!
Also, you will be happy to know that many of your favorite baked goods will also be available for ordering. Order forms will be available at this Saturday's market and will be posted on our blog, and personal delivery can usually be arranged.
We really appreciate all your support and hope to see you this weekend in Waverly (and perhaps somewhere else over the next two weekends).
Thank you,
Pete Castro
