Six years in and this retreat still stops us in our tracks.

52 educators. 4 days at @theecologyschool. And a first-ever Changemakers Evening for Action that had us all energized and inspired.

Congrats to all of our changemakers and especially to our first place winner Sheldon from Key Largo, Florida. Stay tuned for in depth climate action stories from each of our award winners and their classrooms soon!

We are so grateful to @plaineproducts for making this night possible, a woman (sister!) founded and run company that has kept nearly a million plastic bottles out of landfills and oceans, and who gifted every educator a little piece of their mission to take home and reuse time and time again. Hosting this retreat during the last week of Plastic Free July felt just right.

To our educators: you fill us up as much as we hope this week filled you. We’ll be sharing more photos and video soon 🌿

Here’s what I’m talking about:
• The Compton Hotel in Bentonville
• Cougar Gold Cheese
• Mango Chicken
• Sweet corn ice cream (yes, really)
• Fettuccine Alfredo
• Why restaurants that give back deserve more attention

Give it a listen, share it with a friend, and DM us the restaurant, recipe, or product you’re loving right now.

I rode 100 miles over 2 days and now I have a whole new understanding of what it feels like to be supported while doing something hard. That’s what we’re building for moms and kids. Infrastructure that meets people where they are. Grateful for everyone who rode with me — in spirit and helped me raise over $5,000. 🚴🏾‍♀️🧡🏁

These are the days, where lives can all be changed.

Not just by riding, learning, sharing and being endlessly inspired by these epic, wonderful, shiny, hilarious and relentless human beings - and not the only the riders, but the entire teams of Share our Strength, No Kid Hungry, Chef’s Cycle; the cowbell-ringing always-there volunteers, sponsors, partners, family and friends; everyone who supported with donations, time, and of course the sweaty miles with never-ending smiles.

Honoured and humbled to share a small part of this journey for another year with you all, massive love and incredible respect for getting Chef’s Cycle 2026 over the line in both distance and the AMAZING *$1.2M AND COUNTING!!!* raised to help feed those who need it most.

“we are all capable of more than we think we are - as individuals, as a community, as a country.” - billy shore

We did it! 150 of us rode 200 miles for No Kid Hungry and you can join in the FUN-draising! I am always so proud of this accomplishment. Year 6 for me.

Your dinero is not ever wasted with No Kid Hungry. I have worked with or for them since 1992! These funds provide access to summer meals and school breakfast for kids. Summer should be a time to play, not a time to be hungry. Help us get our team to $100,000 - we need $4000 more to get there.

Hearing someone like Billy Shore recognize and champion Gather’s work is incredibly meaningful for our team.

Billy - founder & executive chair of Share Our Strength (@nokidhungry ) - has spent decades leading the national conversation around hunger, dignity, and food access - so to have him visit us here at our Community Food Center in Portsmouth, and see him so clearly understand and elevate Gather’s mission is both humbling and energizing.

His words reinforce what we see every day: that addressing hunger means more than simply providing food. It means building systems rooted in dignity, community, and long-term food security.

We’re grateful for his support and proud to be part of a growing movement reimagining what hunger relief can look like.

So grateful, humbled, recharged and just a little sore. ;) I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be a tiny part of such good work on behalf of my love-filled colleagues at Hattie B’s. Unending thanks to the entire team at ChefsCycle, No Kid Hungry, and Share Our Strength, the rider family, volunteers and supporters who made this our best year yet! Who’s in for Bend 2027? Feeding kids is where it’s at!! ❤️

Ok party people… we did it! 150 chefs rode 200 miles together for No Kid Hungry. Our team has currently raised 96 k and we want to get above 100 k to beat another team.
If you want to be a part of feeding kids this summer, please donate here:

I wish for kids to play in the summer not be hungry. Here are some impact numbers so you know what your money does. In 2023, 22 million kids were on school lunch but only 3 million of those got summer meals. In 2026, because of Chefs Cycle and No Kid hungry, 19 million kids are getting food this summer.

Thank you for having the communal will to say, “oh hell no to hunger”

Day 2. Two hundred miles.
°
The miles are adding up, but what stays with me most isn’t the distance—it’s the reason we’re riding.
Every climb, every headwind, every tired leg is a reminder that there are people in our communities who don’t know where their next meal is coming from. As chefs, feeding people is what we do. Through @Chefscycle, we’re taking that commitment beyond the kitchen and onto the road, riding for those who need us most.
°
There have been moments of exhaustion, but they’ve been outweighed by moments of gratitude, purpose, and the incredible strength of this community. Seeing chefs, restaurateurs, and supporters come together for something bigger than ourselves is truly inspiring.
We’re not just riding bikes. We’re raising awareness, raising critical funds, and standing up for the belief that no one should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.
°
Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey so far. Your encouragement carries us farther than you know.
°

And if this mission speaks to you, I encourage you to join us next year in Bend, Oregon. Come ride with us. Come challenge yourself. Come be part of something that changes lives.
°
Because 200 miles is temporary.
The impact we make together can last forever.

Gratitude doesn’t even begin to cover it.

100miles in the 💼 ✔️

To the entire @chefscycling community—every rider, volunteer, sponsor, supporter, and human who shows up with heart—thank you. What we’ve built together is so much bigger than an epic ride through the beautiful roads of Bend, Oregon.
Because of this incredible community, we’ve raised an astounding $1,178,000 this year in support of @nokidhungry and the amazing team at Share Our Strength. That’s real impact. That’s hope. That’s meals, opportunities, and a step closer to the world we all believe in—a world where no kid goes hungry.
°
Year after year, I’m reminded that some of the most inspiring people you’ll ever meet are the ones who quietly give their time, energy, resources, and kindness to help others.
°
Seriously stoked and deeply grateful to be surrounded by such generous, passionate humans. Thank you for riding, supporting, and believing in this mission.
Here’s to the miles we’ve shared and the difference we’re making together.
