For the entire month of March, participating restaurants in Wasco, Sherman, and Hood River counties are featuring a Great Gorge Melt item as part of our favorite melty fundraiser. What started as a grilled cheese has grown to include a wide range of melty, cheesy dishes. A portion of the proceeds supports the Columbia Gorge Food Bank and our work to fight hunger in the Gorge.
