Community Initiatives
Community service and participation in events allows us to connect with and give back to the people of Coweta County.
Food Drive for Coweta Samaritan Clinic
Coweta Dems held an impromtu food drive for the Coweta Samaritan Clinic after we saw their request to have their food closets replenished. We posted an event in our Facebook group and in a few days were were able to deliver approximately 25 grocery bags of canned and boxed food plus ladies deodorant. Pictured below is just a small amount of what we delivered. Thank you to all who contributed!
City of Newnan's Independence Day Parade
CCDP participated in the Newnan Independence Day Parade by entering a float. Participants rode on the float, carried a banner and flags plus handed out candy to parade watchers. Everyone was decked out in BLUE, white and red. It was a great way to celebrate the 4th!
Participation in the NAACP Juneteenth Parade and E.Y.O. Inc.'s Juneteenth Fair
Coweta Dems celebrated Juneteenth 2025 by participating in the Coweta County NAACP's Annual Juneteenth Parade. Our truck decorations emphasized CCDP's Strategic Pillars. Parade walkers carried signs talking about these pillars while other Dems handed out candy to kids.
Following the parade, party members sponsored a booth in the E.Y.O Inc.'s Sixth Annual Juneteenth Fair. We handed out water and greeted booth visitors.
