The Democratic Party of McHenry County Thomas Jefferson Dinner

It’s time to take a stand for America

There are few missions more important than the struggle to end hunger in America. The economic crisis that began in 2008 has caused a dramatic increase in poverty and hunger. One in seven families in the U.S. face a daily struggle finding enough to eat, and nearly 50 million Americans live in poverty. It's an enormous problem.

The fight for economic and social justice will not end in our lifetimes, but we cannot let that be an excuse not to act wherever and whenever we can.

In addition to supporting Democratic candidates, we must be leaders in public service. That's why we we are delighted to recognize the exceptional volunteer work being done by members of the McHenry County Building Trades Council to create a new home for the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Food Pantry.
