Alfred, NY – Last week, the Allegany County Democratic Committee again hosted their social and networking get-together Coffee with Democrats, this time in Alfred, NY. They collected over two dozen bags of food and hygiene products for the Alfred University Food Pantry; one Committee member said, “I had to put my seats down in the car and take several trips” to transport them all.
“The ACDC deeply values these opportunities to help support communities in the county, especially at this time of particular need in our nation,” said another Committee member.
The Alfred University Food Pantry is open six days a week at the Judson Leadership Center on the University campus and serves over 70 individuals every month. Alfred University’s Health and Wellness Educator, James Ward, thanked the Committee and expressed, “Donations from the community keep our pantry running. Even though we are on Alfred University’s campus, we serve any member of the community.” Ward can be reached with questions about the pantry by email at wardju@alfred.edu and by phone at 607-871-2400.
The next “Coffee with Democrats” will take place in the new year. All registered Democrats and friends of the party are invited to attend. Sign up HERE to receive details.
