Say Cheese is one of our annual fundraising events benefiting the Josephine County Food Bank. It involves 17 local restaurants competing to see who makes the best Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It will run for the entire month of March 2023. ? Each restaurant will donate $2 to the Food Bank for every sandwich sold.

Each year, the Josephine County Food Bank distributes more than two million pounds of food to people in need. More than one-fourth of these people are senior citizens, and nearly a third are children. Each month, roughly 15,000 people utilize our services - these people are your friends and neighbors. Our work directly supports people like Renee, a single mother of three children, who, despite working full-time, finds it almost impossible to keep food on the table.

“We wouldn’t be able to eat without the food bank on certain weeks. It has saved us so many times. Every day is stressful because there is never enough money for our family.”
