Democrats Donate to Food Pantries in Fillmore and Centerville

 

Belmont, NY – The Allegany County Democrats collected multiple bags/boxes of non-perishable food and personal care items when they met recently in Centerville. The goods were donated to the Fillmore Community Food Pantry and to the Town of Centerville Food Pantry. This service project is one of the ways the Democratic Committee lives its motto: “Serving our Community.”

“The Pantry is a vital mission in our community” states Sharon Smith, Coordinator for the Fillmore Community Food Pantry, “allowing us to serve local families with dignity and respect.” The Fillmore Community Food Pantry is located at 25 Minard St. and is open the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month from 2:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. Call 585-567-2293 for more information.

According to Barbara Covert, Centerville Town Clerk, “We keep a box out front and replenish it as needed. Our address is 8902 County Road 3 (Highway Barns).”  Call 585-567-8424 for more information.  

The next “Coffee with Democrats” will take place on Sat. July 20th during Wellsville’s Main Street Festival at the committee’s Election Headquarters at 84 North Main St. in Wellsville. Please drop in for a chat and to support our local food pantries.  Contact us for details at info@alleganycountydemocrats.org, or 585-610-4321 or on Facebook (  https://www.facebook.com/alleganycodems ) or Threads  (  https://www.threads.net/@allegany_ny_dems  ) 

 

The Allegany County Democratic Committee is the official governing body for the County Party, working toward broader representation by Democrats at the local, state, and national levels.
