Cheese for Change Program

In June 2020, we began teaching Cheese for Social Justice classes where we donated 100% of the fees collected from a single, virtual class to a non-profit addressing Social Justice Issues.  In the fall of 2020, this program evolved into Cheese for Change, where now we donate 10% of ALL online class registration fees to programs addressing Social, Racial, & Economic Injustices as well as Environmental & Climate Concerns.

In the fall of 2023, we again expanded the Cheese for Change program adding Alissa Norton to our team to serve as the Program Director.  Alissa works with businesses, venues and non-profits throughout Colorado and beyond to plan larger “cheesy” events that educate and entertain while raising funds for worth organizations making positive changes in the world.  If you’d like to collaborate with us on such an event, reach out to Alissa at 720-394-3591 (cell).
