Welcome to Steeple Chase
We are a charity fund-raiser in Windham, Connecticut, bringing together cyclists from all over New England and beyond for over 25 years. Our mission is to raise funds for four area non-profit organizations: Windham Area Interfaith Ministry, the Windham Region No Freeze Project, Cl!ck Food Hub and Cooperative Kitchen, and Project Imo, while showcasing the beauty of Windham's landscape.
Why we bike/walk
Our Non-Profits
Every dollar raised helps each agency carry out its critical mission of supporting and assisting those most in need in our community. All four agencies are based out of and serve our neighbors in Eastern CT.
Windham Area Interfaith Ministry (WAIM) provides basic needs and support to area residents with insufficient income. Their goal is to keep people safely housed, meet basic material needs and connect them to resources that sustain their stability.

Food Hub and Cooperative Kitchen: Grow, Cook, Share: Recognizing the historical and institutional injustices of the American food system, CLiCK aims to grow a locally-based, just, healthy, and sustainable food economy. CLiCK’s shared-use commercial kitchens provide opportunities for farmers and culinary entrepreneurs, including those with low incomes, to incubate food-based businesses, while improving the health and vitality of our local community by teaching gardening, culinary arts, nutrition, and other food-related classes, all informed by a social justice perspective.
