OVER $4,000 RAISED FOR LOCAL NONPROFIT AT GREATEST OF THE GRAPE
KQEN News Radio

The Umpqua Valley Winegrowers Association raised $4,000 for the local nonprofit Douglas C.A.R.E.S. at the 53rd annual Greatest of the Grape on Saturday night at Seven Feathers Casino Resort in Canyonville.
Known as Oregon’s oldest wine celebration, this year’s event drew over 500 guests, featured tastings of more than 40 Umpqua Valley wines and showcased live music from Roseburg band Vine Katz.
Douglas C.A.R.E.S provides advocacy and care for families affected by abuse. The organization was the beneficiary of the event’s popular Wheel of Wine fundraiser. That is where guests paid $25 per spin for a chance to win a bottle of wine, donated by local wineries. All proceeds from that fundraiser, went directly to Douglas C.A.R.E.S.
Guests voted for their favorite wines and at the end of the evening, Hillcrest Vineyards took home the Best Red Wine award for their 2017 Bulls Blood. Cooper Ridge Vineyard claimed the coveted Greatest of the Grape title for best overall wine with their Sparkling Pomegranate Cuvee.
UVWA Executive Director Ali Rodgers said, “This year’s Greatest of the Grape was an overwhelming success”. Rodgers said, “It not only highlighted the excellence of Umpqua Valley wines but also demonstrated the power of community in supporting vital causes like Douglas C.A.R.E.S”.
The Umpqua Valley Winegrowers Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the wineries and vineyards of the Umpqua Valley. For more information and to get details on future events, go to www.umpquavalleywineries.org
FISH FOOD PANTRY EXPANDS HOURS
KQEN News Radio

In response to the increasing need for accessible food assistance, The FISH of Roseburg is expanding its service to include one Saturday each month.
Beginning February 22nd, the pantry will be open on the fourth Saturday of every month from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. FISH Executive Director Jenn Reida said, “We know that many working families struggle to fit pantry visits into their schedules”. Reida said, “We’ve seen more and more families juggling work, school and other responsibilities while trying to make it during our usual hours. This extra Saturday opening is one way we can ensure that no family has to choose between their job and putting food on the table”.
A release from The FISH of Roseburg said food insecurity is rising at an alarming rate, especially among working families. According to Feeding America, 1 in 6 children in Oregon faces hunger, and many households with at least one working adult still struggle to afford groceries. The cost of food continues to climb, forcing families to make impossible choices between paying rent, covering medical expenses, and buying food.
Reida said The FISH of Roseburg is committed to feeding all who need food, and as demand grows, the organization is finding more and more families struggling to keep up with rising costs. Reida said this expanded schedule is just one of the ways they are working to ensure no one in Douglas County goes hungry.
