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!
Congratulations to The Friendly Kitchen/ Meals on Wheels Roseburg for creating the crowd favorite cheesy creation, as voted on by our community!
Congratulations to Jackson Street Provisions for selling the highest number of cheesy creations during the event, an incredible 600 sandwiches sold!
Lastly, congratulations to Elizabeth, who visited 13 participating restaurants and collected the most passport stamps! She also won the grand prize drawing of $150 to Sherm’s Thunderbird
