Election day food drive supports Carroll County Food Sunday

Vote for the hungry with a can of food at the polls on election day

By Kevin Dayhoff Posted 11/02/10


Today is election day in Carroll County, but voters can also vote with their stomachs — or at least help others do that — by donating cans of food for the hungry at the polls.

Martin Radinsky, Frank Baylor, Kelly Buie, Bob Mitchell, David and Laura O’Callaghan have again organized the election day food drive to support Carroll County Food Sunday.

The goal, according to Radinsky, is to have volunteers staffing collection boxes at all the polling places.

The community service event will be conducted in a non-partisan fashion and volunteers have been asked not to engage in political activity while collecting for Carroll County Food Sunday.

“We welcome the support from all organizations, political clubs, candidates, and political parties in helping to feed our neighbors in need in Carroll County,” said Radinsky.  “In November 2008, Carroll County voters filled seven 150-cubic foot containers with donated food.

“We want to build (the food collection effort) into a Carroll County habit for elections in the future,” said Radinsky.  “When and where else in Carroll County are you going to get 50,000 (people) in one place?

“If only half of all the voters in Carroll County brought one can of food each; that's 25,000 cans of food.”

Radinsky said that every candidate with whom he has spoken has been very supportive of the Carroll County voter food drive.  Hopefully all the candidates will take the opportunity to spread the word.

Should you wish to volunteer to assist in this community service project e-mail Martin Radinsky at maradinsky@comcast.net or call 443-520-7750.

Carroll County Food Sunday will offer Community Service Hours for any student wishing to volunteer their time.

Carroll County Food Sunday is run by volunteers, and is always in need of additional volunteer help. Donations of money and/or food are gladly accepted.

PRESS RELEASE October 25, 2010

For Immediate Release
Contact: Martin Radinsky 443-520-7750

Westminster, MD - October 25, 2010 –

This election, Carroll County is going to continue a unique tradition started with the November 2008 election.

Martin Radinsky, Frank Baylor, Kelly Buie, Bob Mitchell, David and Laura O’Callaghan have once again organized the election day food drive during the upcoming Maryland General Election on November 2, 2010 to support Carroll County Food Sunday.

Our goal is, with volunteer support, to have staffed collection boxes at the polling places, respecting all electioneering laws.

The community service event will be conducted in a non-partisan fashion and volunteers will be asked not to engage in political activity while collecting for Carroll County Food Sunday.  We welcome the support from all organizations, political clubs, candidates, and political parties in helping to feed our neighbors in need in Carroll County.

Radinsky said that in November 2008, Carroll County voters filled seven 150-cubic foot containers with donated food.

“We want to build (the food collection effort) into a Carroll County habit for elections in the future,” said Radinsky.  “When and where else in Carroll County are you going to get 50,000 (people) in one place…?  If only half of all the voters in Carroll County brought one can of food each; that’s 25,000 cans of food….”

Radinsky said that every candidate with whom he has spoken has been very supportive of the Carroll County voter food drive.  Hopefully all the candidates will take the opportunity to spread the word.

Election Day is a wonderful day to celebrate being an American.  Bringing along a can of food will help make sure that no one in our community goes hungry.

DAYHOFF: Vote against local hunger by bringing canned goods to the polls

DAYHOFF: Vote against local hunger by bringing canned goods to the polls

EAGLE ARCHIVE

By Kevin Dayhoff

... on Nov. 2, along with your vote, please bring along a can of beans, or soup -- or even marinated asparagus spears -- to take along with you to the polls.

This election, Carroll County is going to continue a unique tradition started with the November 2008 election.
It's a humanitarian effort of neighbor helping neighbor that, to the best of my knowledge, is a one-of-a-kind initiative in the nation.
One of the things that make Carroll County special is that no matter how many changes occur over the years, we always maintain our priorities by looking out for one another.
This year, Martin Radinsky, Frank Baylor, Kelly Buie, Bob Mitchell, David and Laura O'Callaghan have again organized the Election Day food drive to support Carroll County Food Sunday. Volunteers will beat polling places throughout the county to collect the nonperishable canned goods.
Last week, Radinsky said that in November 2008, Carroll County voters filled seven 150-cubic foot containers with donated food. In an interview with Radinsky back in 2008, he said he wanted "to build (the food collection effort) into a Carroll County habit for elections in the future."

Last Tuesday, after two years, 45 debates and $2.4 billion spent, American voters finally had their day. Is it just me, or does $2.5 billion seem an obscene amount of money for a country to spend on politics?

Nonetheless, I recently read an article in the London Sunday Times which stated: "This may seem a lot, but Americans annually spend $8 billion on hair care products, $64 billion on soft drinks ... so $2.4 billion isn't too much to pick the leader of the free world."

In Carroll County, it was good to see that we maintained our proper priorities with the idea of having an Election Day food drive to support Carroll County Food Sunday.

By late afternoon, when I checked with Marty Radinsky and Frank Baylor, Carroll Countians had generously donated five huge 150 cubic foot containers of food for the needy.

Radinsky said he hopes "to build (the food collection effort) into a Carroll County habit for elections in the future."
