Belmont, NY – Today, volunteers from the Allegany County Democratic Committee delivered more than a dozen bags of non-perishable food and personal care items collected at their recent “Coffee with Democrats” event. This service project is one of the ways the Democratic Committee lives its motto: “Serving our Community.”

“The Salvation Army is proud to serve Allegany County,” states Emily Stothart, Employee in Charge. “Our mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The support of the Allegany County Democratic Committee to join in meeting human needs is a welcome contribution to the fight against food insecurity and social needs in our area.
