A Summer Food Drive sponsored by the Cass County Democratic Party, ended May 24th. Cass County Democratic Party Chair Sherry Toelle, said donated food items were delivered to four local food pantries and two school programs on May 30th.

Toelle said “We had a phenomenal turn-out; some businesses donated quite a lot of food. It was a joy to be able to deliver those goods to the pantries and schools. They were delighted with the donations. “I want to thank my Co-Vice-Chair Sandy Sothman for helping me deliver the donations across the county. And, of course, many thanks to all the businesses who allowed us to use their buildings as drop-off sites for donations. Without them, this food drive would not have been nearly as successful.” (All pics below submitted by Sherry Toelle)
