Thrill of the Grill Raises $2,086!
Fun times were had at this year's 11th annual Thrill of the Grill — a Food for People BBQ and benefit fundraiser. The Co-op helped raise $2,086.50, with all proceeds from this event supporting Food for People’s Child Nutrition Programs. For $5 dollars, attendees had a choice of grassfed beef or non-meat burger, plus a green salad, chips and a drink all while listening to the jazzy sounds of the local band, Dogbone.
