Mark Wiewel, the President & CEO of the Western Catholic Union, is zeroing in on raising a quarter of a million dollars with his "Bike for Food" fundraising ride. In the previous nine years, Wiewel has raised $203-thousand for food pantries in Quincy, Alton, Hannibal, Palmyra, Canton and Ft. Madison.
Western Catholic Union will hold its Fall Soup Day from 11 to 1 on Tuesday, November 4 in the WCU Hall, 516 Maine Street, located immediately east of the WCU's Home Office in Quincy.
Mark Wiewel has been pedaling across the State of Illinois for years now, and in doing so he has raised thousands of dollars with his annual Bike For Food charity ride. Wiewel announced today that last summer's bike ride raised 23,053 for ten area food pantries.
