Blue Tiger Democrats™ Project Spotlight
The South County Democratic Club (SCDC) in Berrien County embarked on their first "Blue Tiger Democrat" project in an effort to support veterans in need in southwestern Michigan.
Resident Services of Southwest Michigan (located in Niles) acts as a relief center for needy veterans and provides services for them. However, they are dependent upon the generosity of citizens to make contributions of food stuff, clothing, and items for personal hygiene. SCDC's first Blue Tiger Project was spearheading a drive to get items that are badly needed by "Resident Services" and local veterans.
Resident Services provided SCDC a list of the most needed items; items that they are in dire need of attaining. Their representative said that food items would be appreciated and said they had only "a few cans of corn left on their shelves."
The SCDC Blue Tiger Democrats asked members in their community to collect goods including: food, laundry detergent, toilet paper, clothing, and hygiene items and drop them off at either their local office in Buchanan, and/or at their annual FDR Dinner to support Resident Services of Southwest Michigan in their efforts to provide our veterans with basic necessities and support.
