Pennington County Democrats Support KOTA Care and Share Food Drive
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
County Democrats Support Care and Share Food Drive
Rapid City, SD ? Dec 6, 2006 ? The Pennington County Democratic Party is using some its post-election enthusiasm to help the needy of our region by supporting the KOTA Care and Share Food Drive.
The group's post-election meetings and planning for the upcoming Christmas holiday party on December 10 all have included collection of food and funds for the Food Drive, and Party members are being encouraged to support Food Drive events as much as they can this holiday season. In addition to collecting food and donations at events, the Pennington County Democrats are also sponsoring a KOTA Care & Share collection site at Rapid Care in Rapid City.
It's possible that the seed was planted by a chili feed held by U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth at the Billion Headquarters the Friday before the Nov 7 election. Rep. Herseth donated the food, but all attendees were asked to contribute to a collection for the Cornerstone Rescue mission.
The idea of joining KOTA Care And Share was first floated by Democratic Party activist Karen Hall, who said, "joining the Food Drive just made sense, as an opportunity to share our Democratic values, encouraging all to support those in society that truly need our help."
Curtis Price, who handles electronic communications for the group, said, "the 2004 election cycle was a real watershed for Democrats in West River. We have identified many new supporters and new lines of communication, through many personal contacts, a highly expanded presence on the Web. We figured it would be a great opportunity to use our network of committed folks to support the KOTA Care and Share Food Drive. We want people to know that although we are political people and like to talk about ideas, in the end we're in it to help influence government to do the right thing. It's really about our values."
