Democrats Care Service Event Chair Harrison believes the Democratic Party is not just a political organization, it’s also a community organization addressing the everyday needs of people around the country. Democrats Care provides an opportunity for our party to embrace and act on our ideals and work to improve our country beyond the ballot, beginning by supporting local communities. You are invited to join Chair Harrison to help bundle household items for Veterans Community Project (VPC), an organization dedicated to providing unique and tailored assistance to transitioning veterans, including housing, and work-life counseling. You can find an inspiring video about the organization here. Our DemsCare service project will take place on Friday, October 6 at the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel from 11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. CT. We encourage all attendees to bring household items (ie: cutting boards, heavy-duty cleaning sponges, cooking utensils, zip lock freezer bags, and collapsible storage containers) or gift cards so the veterans can fill their refrigerator and pantry.
