Livingston Dems' Annual Drive for Gleaners Is On!
Democrats will be back in control of Congress come January, but until then, the Trump administration is doing all it can to hurt people -- including cutting 6.3 million more people from the rolls of SNAP just last week.
Livingston Dems can't stop those cuts, but we can try to help people who will be facing hunger by contributing to our annual drive for Gleaners Community Food Bank.
Last year, we contributed enough cash, checks, and non-perishable food to provide 25,000 meals for those in need.
Can we count on you to help again this year?
You can donate on line here.
The latest round of SNAP cuts comes just before the holidays. We can help our friends and neighbors in need put food on the table for the holidays by contributing to this drive.
You can "shop" for food online at the Gleaners' website, mail a check made out to Gleaners to our office at 8028 Grand River, Suite 7, Brighton, or drop off cash, check, or nonperishable food between noon and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Any type of donation is most welcome, but Gleaners has tremendous buying power and can stretch a dollar much farther than individual buyers. It can buy chicken breasts for $1.89 a pound, far under the grocery story price.
As a food bank, Gleaners also supports local food pantries throughout the county and hosts food distribution days at local school districts.
Compassion for others is one of the values that Democrats stress. Our annual Gleaners Drive is a great way to put that into practice and show the community that we care.
Please contribute in any way you can!
