BAKED GOODS- bring the day or night of the event. Prior to the event please complete a donation slip so we can account for the item and plan for a bid sheet.
DONATION SLIPS- need to be completed. They are available at the CoCoDem office (on the donation table). Required information includes name, address, phone, email, employment (if you have donated up to or plan to $200 in a calendar year) and estimated value of donated item.

FYI. Engaging our youth. We have partnered with some pretty amazing young adults to form the Columbia County Youth and Young Adult Engagement Organization. Our first event is scheduled for Sunday, April 19th. Professionals and young leaders will lead small and large group discussions around the issues of gun violence, fair maps, and immigration. This is a non-partisan event. Our goal is to inform, to engage, and to listen. We hope to make this a regular event.
