RAGBRAI is the longest, largest and oldest bicycle touring event in the world, bringing thousands of cycling enthusiasts together from across the nation and even around the world.

Join Our Local RAGBRAI Ride

Can’t ride with our RAGBRAI team? We understand and we are excited to offer a new LOCAL RAGBRAI Ride. You can Pedal Wheels to Provide Meals at your own pace or join us at the Greater Peoria YMCA during the times listed below.

Our Neighborhood House staff will be at the Greater Peoria YMCA during these times:

• Monday, July 24th: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
• Tuesday, July 25th: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
• Wednesday, July 26th: 5:00 am – 8:00 am

Neighborhood House provides each participating rider a free t-shirt and asks that they fundraise on our behalf prior to the event, with a goal of $500. This fundraising total reflects the 500 miles our RAGBRAI riders will be completing. It will also help feed 1 senior citizen in our Meals on Wheels program for 4 months! Once registration is complete you will have an individual fundraising webpage to assist with this fundraising goal.

Thank you for supporting Neighborhood House.

Thank you to all of the volunteers and supporters that helped us spread a little Holiday cheer to 1,000 Senior Citizens in our Meals on Wheels program. Our annual Santa for Seniors program helps combat the loneliness and isolation that too many face by delivering gifts to homebound Senior Citizens in our program. Thanks to our continued partnership with UFS, we are happy to carry on this tradition.

Dust the dirt off your cowboy boots and put on your favorite western attire for a fun-filled evening featuring cocktails, alcohol tastings, silent & live auction, a down home country fun. Mark your calendars and make plans to join us for our 7^th Annual Saddle Up Thursday, October 12^th, 2023!

So many in our community face hardship all year, which can make the holidays difficult. We once again adapted our Children’s Toy Shop into an Angel Tree for the kids within our youth program this year.  Thank you to the individuals, families and businesses that sponsored the children and families on our Angel Tree.

Your support made the holiday season a little brighter for a local family.
