Get your wristbands TODAY for our Curd Crawl!

Our Curd Crawl fundraiser is fast approaching!

You don't want to miss the cheese-y action on Saturday, October 16, so purchase your wristbands today!

How does the Curd Crawl work?

  • Purchase a wristband for just $10 to gain access to cheese curd samples at eight local establishments for a discounted price. Each person must have a wristband to participate.

  • Help us crown a Cheese Curd Champion by rating the curds at each establishment. Ballot boxes and rating slips will be at each location.

  • The Curd Crawl is open to all ages!

  • Kick off your crawl with United Way at Brix from 11:00am - 1:00pm on October 16 (last chance to purchase wristbands). Otherwise, visit any of the eight establishments any time after they open the day of the event.

What establishments are participating?

  • BRIX
  • Broken Plate Catering (at both their diner and The Wharf)
  • Courthouse Pub
  • Holla
  • Pizza Garden

Soup To Go!

Our staff teamed up with UW-Green Bay, Manitowoc Campus for a volunteer opportunity focused on food insecurity in the community.

Volunteers from the campus spent the morning of Friday, October 1 in the kitchen at First Presbyterian Church, Manitowoc cooking a huge batch of Vegetable Beef Barley Soup. They then packed the soup along with other items in 240 to-go bags and distributed to community residents via a drive-through event in the afternoon

Special thanks to Grow It Forward Community Food Center for helping with coordination of the food and a huge shout-out to the volunteers!
