“We are very grateful for the opportunity to bring one of our most successful events into downtown Cedar Falls this year. We would like to thank Tim Schilling for the use of his building and encourage anyone interested in opening a downtown business to come check out this location. We would also like to thank Cedar Falls Main Street for their support in helping us make this event happen. Every dollar we raise from this event can provide four meals to hungry Northeast Iowans in our 16-county service area.” - Barbara Prather, Executive Director of the Northeast Iowa Food Bank
