Kiwanis Club members are selling Oregon cheese, sausage and fudge to raise money for their children’s charities, such as scholarships, youth sports teams and donations to organizations such as A Family Place relief nursery.

The service club’s “cheese wagon” is set up at Third and Davis streets next to US Bank.

Members are selling Tillamook cheeses, Werner summer sausage, also from Tillamook, and fudge and truffles from the Brigittine Abbey near Amity. They come in various packs, including one type of food or a mixture.

Gifts are packed in boxes suitable for shipping.

The Kiwanis wagon is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday until Christmas or until the food runs out.

The club, which has about 36 members, meets at noon on Thursdays; for a location, send email to mackiwanis1924@gmail.com. New members are welcome.
