Marion Dems Food drive 2025
A HUGE thank you to the incredibly generous members of our community who helped the Marion Dems collect 1,978 pounds of food for Interfaith Emergency Services in Ocala. Your kindness made a real impact for families in need right before Thanksgiving.
This effort was proudly bipartisan, showing what we can accomplish when we come together with a shared purpose: helping our neighbors. Every can, box, and bag of food contributed made a difference—and we are so grateful.
But we’re not done yet!
We’ll be collecting nonperishable food items again at our Dem Blue Donkey Holiday Party on December 1st, and we’d love your help to make another large donation before the December holidays. If you’re able, please bring canned goods, dry foods, and other shelf-stable items to keep this momentum going. Learn More.
Together, we can continue supporting local families and spreading goodwill throughout the season.
Thank you again for your compassion and generosity, Marion County!
