Hickory – The Democratic Women of Catawba County held their first Winter Community Outreach event of the season. “Cold Weather in Catawba County” includes 300 give-away bags containing hats, gloves, socks, masks, and hot cocoa for men, women, and children. Additionally, snacks and toys for girls and boys were available for families to select during the East Newton Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 19, 2020.

DWCC has plans to schedule soup cans and other canned goods in their next community outreach “Cold Weather in Catawba County” events in January and February. Thanks to the generosity of DWCC members and others, we can support our friends and neighbors in need. More information is available at www.demwomen.com and on the DWCC Facebook page.
