Friendship, NY – At a recent get-together in Friendship, NY, the Allegany County Democrats collected 17 bags of non-perishable food and paper products for Mission Agape at the Friendship Church of God in Christ. This service project is one of the ways the Democratic Committee lives its motto: “Serving our Community.”
Friendship Church of God in Christ’s Mission Agape serves 30 to 40 families each month. “It’s hard knowing that families may not have all the necessities they need,” says main contact Lindsey Mwene, “so our pantry does our best to meet those needs. Having community members and organizations that are willing to donate food or personal care items helps us better meet the needs of the larger community.”
Project Agape operates at the Church of God in Christ in Friendship on the third Monday of every month from 3:15 to 5 p.m. Contact them at (585) 973-2506 or by email at friendcogic@aol.com.
Mwene thanked the Democratic Committee for their contribution. “We are greatly appreciative of the donations received. You have no idea even the impact this gift can do for our community, and we are blessed to be a blessing to others. Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of a greater mission to serve the Friendship Community.”
