🧀✨ The cheesiest news is here! ✨🧀
The information you’ve all been waiting for… our Cheese & Thank You Cheesy Cheat Sheet is finalized, and we’re thrilled to share that 19 amazing restaurants are participating this year!
This March, enjoy delicious, cheesy creations across Douglas County while helping fight hunger in our community. During Cheese & Thank You, participating restaurants will donate $2 from every featured cheesy creation sold to the UCAN Food Bank. Every $1 donated helps provide 3 meals for a neighbor in need, ensuring every bite helps melt hunger away.
📍 Kickoff Event: Saturday, Feb 28
Swing by to grab a FREE grilled cheese and your Cheese & Thank You passport and get ready to start collecting stamps! For every 5 stamps, you’ll earn an entry into a drawing for a $150 gift card to Sherm's Thunderbird.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our generous campaign sponsor, Columbia Bank, and media sponsor, KMTR, for helping bring this community-powered fundraiser to life.
⭐ Special thanks to our participating restaurants for their generosity, creativity, and partnership in making Cheese & Thank You possible. We can’t wait for you all to try these tasty, cheesy creations!
