Allegany County Dems Show Gratitude to Health Care Heroes
BELMONT, NY — On Friday, February 14th, the Allegany County Democratic Committee (ACDC) delivered homemade cookies to more than 1,000 “Health Care Heroes” at Allegany County’s medical facilities: Wellsville Manor, Manor Hills, Highland Park Rehabilitation, Jones Memorial Hospital, and Clarity Wellness Community in Wellsville; Cuba Memorial Hospital in Cuba, and the Houghton Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Houghton.
This is ACDC’s fifth year organizing this project. Those involved do it to show support for our local health care workers, let them know they are appreciated, and thank them for the compassionate attention they give to the community members in their care.
More than 50 volunteers from all corners of the county baked and donated 175 dozen cookies, which were packed into individual bags at locations around the county. Each bag had a tag that read: “To the Superhero receiving this gift: Thank you for caring for our loved ones. We are very grateful! Allegany County Democratic Committee 2025”
Martha Sabato, a key organizer for this project, spoke for all: “Words can never fully express our appreciation, but we believe that cookies are able to say what words cannot. With this project, we recognize and honor the commitment and dedication of our local health care workers as they attend to our loved ones, our dearest friends, and our neighbors
Democrats Donate to Cuba Food Pantry
Belmont, NY – The Allegany County Democrats collected 20 bags/boxes of non-perishable food and personal care items when they met recently in West Clarksville. The goods were donated to the food pantry operated by the Cuba Council of Churches: Our Lady of Angels Roman Catholic Church, Christ Episcopal Church, First Baptist Church, Cuba Methodist Church, and North Park Wesleyan Church. This service project is one of the ways the Democratic Committee lives its motto: “Serving our Community”.
“The Cuba community never ceases to provide and amaze me,” states Claudia Little, Food Pantry Director. “When a need arises, they provide for their neighbors. The Cuba-Rushford school district is so blessed to have the support of so many. Cuba Council of Churches Food Pantry is ready to meet the needs of those facing difficult times: offering food and gas vouchers for medical trips or job interviews, and lodging in emergency situations. The Holiday Assistance program allows many families to enjoy a happier holiday season.”
The pantry is located at the First Baptist Church, 17 South St and is open by appointment. Those needing assistance can call 585-968-2347 or 585-968-1531 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Please join the county Democrats on Saturday, March 8th in Almond for coffee and to support the community’s local food pantry.
