About RAH
Ride Against Hunger (RAH) is a group of motorcycle enthusiasts focused on raising nonperishable food, goods, and cash donations for charities that feed the hungry. RAH connects caring communities, like American Bikers and supporters who believe in the tradition of providing a helping hand, to those in need. RAH works with partner agencies to distribute emergency food to hungry families.
RAH is currently planning events that support Oregon Food Bank (OFB), and other charities. See the Events page for more information. RAH!

how rah began...
"My name is Anton Luru and I came up with this brain child after having a very dear friend—that due to circumstances and the economy—was finally forced to go to a local food bank to get groceries before her food stamps were approved.
"She went kicking and fighting all the way (she is a very proud person) but she finally went and was grateful for the assistance. She found the volunteers at the food bank pleasant and extremely understanding regarding her embarrassment and need. She was given about 3 to 5 days worth of various food items, but was told that unfortunately due to donation shortages she would not be able to come back for more food for at least 4 months!
"Normally, it is only 2 months before one can return for more food, but because of the overwhelming number of people requesting support at this time, the economy being bad, and people conserving and not donating much, the food bank's supplies are at an all time low.
"I found this rather disturbing that in a nation as rich as ours, with the resources we have, we have people in this nation going hungry.... so I dared my community to take action..." ...thus Ride Against Hunger (RAH) was born.
