Democrats Work! a Huge Success

This Saturday marked the kick-off event for Democrats Work! in Georgia.

Democrats Work is a new national organization that mobilizes Democrats to perform community service- as Democrats. Democrats Work partners with Democratic organizations to help connect Democrats with visible, tangible service projects in their communities such as cleaning up parks and neighborhoods, working at food banks, building houses, sponsoring basketball tournaments, and helping at church bake sales. Through this service-based approach, Democrats Work aims to promote and energize the Democratic brand at the local level, showing our neighbors that Democrats work hard to improve their communities every day, not just at election time.

More on Saturday's clean-up efforts in Sunday's AJC.

Our Middle Georgia Democratic Women's club has been involved in numerous social service projects, including collecting school supplies for poor kids, volunteering at schools, donating canned goods to Loaves & Fishes, donating clothing to clothes closets and more. Some of our invidual members have volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, Cherished Children, and New Hope Center. Two of our members have recently been named to the regional mental health board.
