DEMS’ FOOD DRIVE: Great community response

| November 25, 2022 1:00 AM

Last week the Kootenai County Democrats’ Community Outreach Committee put out a call for our annual food drive — and the community answered with an overwhelming response.

Because of the generosity of KC Dem members and the local community, during the drive-through/drop off collection, volunteers gathered more than 1,700 pounds of food and more than $1,800 in donations. That equates to about 4,600 meals for our friends and neighbors to enjoy during the upcoming holidays.

It’s clear that this community cares about each other and our annual food drive is a nonpartisan way to contribute to that caring effort. Both the Coeur d’Alene (Community Action Partnership) and the Post Falls Food Banks were the beneficiaries of the donations.
