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

The Bolivar Food Pantry is located at 8265 St. Rt 417 in Little Genesee, NY, and is open Mondays and Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Those needing assistance can call  (585) 307-8743 for more information.  

According to volunteer and treasurer Paula Ostermeier, “Approximately 90 families are served each month. Our volunteers are here to feed as many households as we can, and no one in need is ever turned away.”  The pantry would welcome donations of non-perishable canned goods, vegetables, milk and soups.

Ostermeier continued, “We thank the Democratic Committee for their donation to our food pantry. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated.” 

Please join the county Democrats on Saturday, June 14^th in Wellsville for an afternoon of camaraderie and to support a local food pantry.
