Join the YES WE CANS Food Drive to benefit the Inter-Faith Council (IFC) and Orange Congregations in Missions (OCIM) food pantries on Monday, January 18th!
The Orange County Democrats are partnering with Organizing for America/Orange County Campaign for Change on this national day of service to help our neighbors across the county who are struggling. The shelves at the county’s food pantries are constantly being emptied. Let’s work together to help restock the empty shelves! We are asking each precinct to collect at least 47 lbs of food to help us reach our goal of 2010 lbs of non -perishable food, toilet paper, new or gently used clean blankets and coats.
You can take food and clothing donations donations and/or help collect food in either Chapel Hill/Carrboro or Hillsborough:
