Cheese and Thank You

Wrap Up on Cheese & Thank You 2026!

Together, our participating restaurants and Columbia Bank’s sponsorship raised an amazing $5,542.55 for the UCAN Food Bank, while an additional $3,125 was contributed through in-kind gift card donations to give back to the community, and KVAL’s media sponsorship. Every cheesy creation sold made a difference in our local food security efforts!
