OREGON — The Ogle County Democratic Central Committee took the challenge of not being able to gather in person during the holiday season and made it into a positive. For the second consecutive year, committee members decided to take their holiday party contribution and turned it into donations to benefit Ogle County food pantries. This year, $800 was collected and distributed to eight pantries throughout the county. For more information about the Ogle County Democrats, visit their website at Oglecountydems.org.
