When Fairview Swiss Cheese in Mercer County became the unwitting recipient of an 11,000-gallon milk order, owner Rick Koller decided to hold a cheese sale designed to benefit the Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors project.
The sale was held between July 6 and 14 at the retail location at 1734 Perry Highway in Fredonia, Mercer County, and $10,000 was raised by selling the cheese at $3.99 a pound.
Koller said the reason he chose to help Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors was because of his involvement with the Knights of Columbus.
“Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors is a project that I believe does great things for our veterans,” Koller said.
“As a patriotic American, you take pride in our veterans’ past service, but it’s just as important to take pride in helping them after their service is complete,” he added.
“It’s great to know small communities can band together to make an impact,” Koller said.
