A local chapter of a motorcycle club has once again made a significant donation to the Soup Kitchen of Greater Wheeling.

Boozefighters Motorcycle Club Chapter 72 recently donated $5,500 to the Soup Kitchen. For the 14th consecutive year, the chapter has delivered a significant donation, bringing their total contributions of donations of money, clothing and goods over tens of thousands of dollars.

“This is more than just a donation,” said Chapter 72 President Mike “Bull” Napple. “It’s a reflection of the heart and spirit of our club and our unwavering commitment to helping those who are struggling. We know that the Wheeling Soup Kitchen plays a crucial role in feeding and supporting our neighbors, and we’re honored to do our part in making that happen.”

Each year, Boozefighters MC Chapter 72 has partnered with the soup kitchen to help provide food, resources and hope to people in need throughout the region.

Members raise funds through events, raffles, and a charity ride the first weekend in November that is open to the public, all in support of the Soup Kitchen’s mission to alleviate hunger in the local community.

The Wheeling Boozefighter would like to thank its numerous sponsors over the years that have made it possible to contribute so much to the Wheeling Soup Kitchen.

This years sponsors were Croft and Sons MFG, Valley Harley Davidson, Armed Forces Motorcycle Club, the Alpha Tavern, Breaking Skin Tattoo, Frio’s Bail Bonds, Taylor’s Auto, Rods RV Camp, Dan-o Welding, Lowry’s Metals, Mark Lake, Park Circle Cafe.
