Despite rain, the United Food Bank of Plant City successfully held its first food drive and bike ride to benefit the organization.
The bikers met at the food bank where they registered and then began an approximately 70-mile journey that ended in downtown Plant City, where the event merged with the Chamber’s annual Bike Fest.
The food bank sold tickets to a raffle for items like hats, a remote controlled motorcycle and a leather jacket.
Led by Billy Passmore and the Cigar City Chapter of the Iron Pigs Motorcycle Club, the bikers rode along a designated route in honor of David Galloway, the treasurer and a board member of the food bank who died Oct. 11.
