The Oneota Community Food Co-op in Decorah has raised $3,600 for area food pantries through its annual "Taste of the Holidays" event.
 
Over 200 people attended the event.  They paid $15 per person for eat-in or $10 per person for take-away and all of that money was donated to the local food pantries.  
 
Decorah Bank & Trust donated an additional $500, increasing the money raised to $3,600.
 
Since the inception of this yearly fundraiser in 2009, the Co-op has raised over $21,000 to assist the four local food pantries of Decorah Lutheran Church, First Lutheran Church, Greater Area Pantry, and NE Iowa Community Action.
