November Food Drive by the SCCDP

The St. Clair County Democratic Party is conducting a November Food Drive for the Food Depot in Port Huron and SOS in Marysville.

We plan to deliver food and a contribution to each organization.

We plan to staff our office at the Blue Water Labor Temple beginning Wednesday, November 12 on select days from 4:30 pm till 6:30 pm. Stop by with non-perishable food items as well as other grocery items that are non-perishable–paper towels, toilet paper, diapers, etc.

Here is a list with suggestions:

Here are some details for our food drive:

Of particular need:
-Canned Soup (low sodium if possible)
-Canned Pasta Meals (like ravioli)
-Cereal
-Juice
-Cooking Oil
-Tuna, Salmon, Chicken (Pull Top or Foil Packs help homeless most)
-Canned Fruit (in Natural or Low Sugar Syrup)
-Any Other Non-Perishables
-Checks or Cash to Blue Water Food Depot also allows them to purchase discounted ground beef

These two pantries together serve nearly 1,500 people monthly in our communities.

Please bring some food or other assistance to donate at our next meeting

The Community Foundation of St. Clair County has posted good information for our county’s residents if they choose to help other pantries as well. The following list comes from their website:
