Dems After Dark
November 11 @ 5:00 pm – 6:45 pm

Join us for a night of reflection and connection. And, yes, fun. The hard work of Election Year 2025 is behind us. Midterms 2026 are barreling toward us! Let’s take time to gather, celebrate and share at Dems After Dark on November 11 from 5pm til 6:45pm at Barrel Chest Wine & Beer!
We’ll also be hosting a food drive benefiting Feeding Southwest Virginia to help fight food insecurity in our community exacerbated by cuts to programs, cuts to benefits, and rising costs.
Let’s end the year strong and give back – together!
Food Drive
Items most needed include:
Peanut Butter, Canned Meats, Canned Vegetables, Canned Fruits, Beans, Rice, Pasta, Soup, and 100% Juice.
Per Feeding Southwest Virginia, things to consider when deciding what to donate:
Give with respect. Please only donate items that are unopened and in their original packaging. Do not donate expired, damaged, or partially used products. Consider the nutrient density of what you are donating. Opt for canned goods packed in water or items that are low sodium or low sugar. When available, pop-top cans and other easy-open containers help make food more accessible. Avoid glass containers!
