Democratic Club Organizes Food Drive For Local Pantry

The Ste. Genevieve County Democratic Club conducted a food drive at its February meeting to benefit the food pantry at the First Presbyterian Church. Club member Bill Kraemer, pictured at left, with club president David Bova, organized the drive. More than 900 items were collected after the club’s donated items were combined with those collected by the Local Quarryworkers and Steelworkers unions. After receiving the donation, a pantry spokesperson said, “This is a huge help to many needy people in Ste. Genevieve.” The club did not have its regular meeting in March due the coronavirus but instead conducted its business via e-mail. For information about the club, contact stegendemclub@gmail.com.
