Democrats Thank Community

Schodack Democratic Club Members Thank Residents  for Food Donations

The Schodack Democratic Club members would like to thank the residents of the Maple Hill Road corridor for their generosity during the Schodack Democratic Club’s recent food drive. Donations helped restock the shelves of the Anchor Food Pantry in Castleton. 

“We are pleased and thankful for the overwhelming support of our neighbors for this, our first food drive. We collected more than 200 lbs. of food to help Schodack residents who are in need,” said Linda Underwood, Schodack Democratic Club and Committee secretary. Underwood helped coordinate the event with fellow Democratic Club member Ed Prevost, who came up with the idea for a food drive. “We are encouraged by the reception our food drive received and look forward to the next one.”

Underwood said the Schodack Democratic Club plans to hold food drives quarterly, going to a different area of the town each time. The next one is slated for September.

“These food drives are our way of giving back to the community. They help us reach out to not only our neighbors in need, but also those who wish to help out,” Underwood concluded.
