LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., December 11, 2023 –– Donors rolled up in golf carts, Teslas, and well-used Toyotas to drop off peanut butter and tuna for waiting volunteers from the Laguna Beach Democratic Club (LBDC) for its food drive to benefit the Laguna Food Pantry. In just three hours, the club collected 457 lbs. of shelf-stable proteins, plus a few checks totaling several hundred dollars.
The collection at Bluebird Park was deemed a great success by LBDC chair Peggy Wolff, who said, “It was a beautiful morning to greet the steady stream of donors from all walks of life and all political stripes who dropped by with food to help people in need. Both peanut butter and tuna can make a meal. We were happy to help provide these important basics to augment the nutritional needs of families and call attention to the Pantry’s good and needed work.”
Monetary donations to help meet the growing need can be made at lagunafoodpantry.org.
The club’s next endeavor is its first 2024 meeting and election year membership drive on Thursday, January 25, 2024 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Zinc Café and Market, 350 Ocean Avenue. The suggested donation is $25, which includes two drink tickets and heavy hors d’ oeuvres. This event is open to all members and not-yet-members who may join the LBDC for $35 for the new calendar year.

450 pounds for Greg and Donna!
Let those other Fu$%ers eat tree bark.
Can you believe Greg and Vern showed up for the FREE toy drive at the pond?
Vern Nelson recently explained/opined at the Anaheim Dem’s get together that the whole Twitterattack / Jordan Brandman recall / William Fitzgerald / Dumb Cuban stunts were a “distraction” from doing what they want: getting progressives like Dr
Moreno elected to higher office.
Hence, a cavalcade of worthless posts in order to bury their past sins so as to make them look credible.
I don’t think a lifetime supply of TIDE could clean those stains.
I’d like him to explain his wife’s black eye from a few years ago
