National Day of Service Virtual Food Drive

The Essex County Democrats are participating in a National Day of Service event coinciding with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the historic inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This year we are engaging in a virtual food bank, donating funds and non-perishable food to our local food shelves. We encourage Democrats across Essex County to donate between now and January 18, to help with COVID-19 relief efforts. Please make every effort to contribute to one or more of the food shelves listed here. On behalf of the Essex County Democratic Committee, thank you for your generosity. Martha Allen, Chair, Essex County Democrats.
