Belmont, NY – The Allegany County Democratic Committee partnered recently with Rise Up Wellsville for a NO KINGS Rally in Wellsville. An estimated 300 individuals gathered peacefully for music and conversation, a “Honk and Wave”, and to participate in a live reading of the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution.
In addition, attendees generously brought non-perishable food and personal care item — more than 30 bags full — which have been donated to the Rushford Community Food pantry to restock its shelves for local families in need. This is one of the ways the Democratic Committee lives its motto: “Serving our Community.”
In addition, 15 bags of pet food and pet supplies were donated to the pantry by Western NY Food for Paws, which, with this donation, establishes services into Allegany County. With the motto “Helping Families Stay Together, One Bowl at a Time,” this non-profit was created to support food pantries that provide pet food to families experiencing financial hardships. Thanks to the Giant Food Marts in Cuba and Wellsville, which are now hosting donation barrels in their stores, all local donations will be given to Allegany County food pantries.
The Rushford Community Food Pantry is located at 9103 County Road 7 in Rushford and is open every 3rd Saturday of the month from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM. Those needing assistance can call 716-801-5415 for more information.
