The Senior Citizens Council of Cobb County will host its 2nd Annual Born to Be a Senior Charity Ride on Saturday, June 20, 2026, raising funds for local senior assistance programs at a time when food insecurity among older adults continues to rise across Cobb County.
In Cobb County, nearly 1 in 12 adults over age 60 faces food insecurity, often forced to choose between groceries, medication, and housing costs. Statewide, Georgia ranks among the top 10 states in the nation for senior hunger.
Registration opens at 10:30 AM at Williamson Bros Bar-B-Q in Marietta, with kickstands up at 11:30 AM. The ride concludes at Southern Devil Harley-Davidson with food, raffles, and a post-ride community gathering open to riders and non-riders alike.
Registration is $20 per vehicle, with proceeds supporting Cobb County Senior Services Meals on Wheels Cobb and MUST Ministries through the Senior Citizens Council of Cobb County.
Cobb County Senior Services Meals on Wheels and MUST Ministries provide critical meal assistance, food access, and community support services for vulnerable seniors and families throughout the region, helping older adults remain independent and safely housed.
‘This ride is about more than miles. It’s about showing up for the seniors in our community who need support,’ said Jim D’Emilio, Executive Director of the Senior Citizens Council of Cobb County.
‘Every rider who registers, every business that sponsors, and every neighbor who shares the event helps put meals on tables and supports seniors across our community.
Persons can register and get details on the ride and raffle prizes by visiting seniorsofcobb.org and clicking on the Meetings and Events tab.
