Political yard signs are popping up all over the neighborhoods as the April 9 elections draw near. Why they’re even showing up near the upper right hand side of the page! DeKalb County Online asked the local candidates to place their campaign sign on our website in exchange for a $90 donation to their favorite local charity and then tell us why they chose their pick.
Jennifer Groce, one of four candidates for Mayor of DeKalb chose the Feed ’em Soup organization to receive her $90 donation. The mission of the Feed ’em Soup Community Organization is “to empower our community by serving nutritious cooking with compassion and respect in a restaurant quality environment to anyone – regardless of situation, background or ability to pay while strengthening our community and nourishing hope.”
Other candidates have joined our locals helping locals program, their signs are rotating on this website and their stories will also appear here.
Thanks to all of the candidates for their commitment to our community. It takes a lot of gumption just to step up and take the responsibility of becoming a public servant let alone entering a popularity contest based on who you are, what you’ve done and how you will fix the mess we’re in. The time commitment for campaigning is enormous for those who choose to become a candidate. And thanks to the local charities who provide so many services to our community, too.
Community giving…
Feed Em Soups works to encourage compassion and respect by providing delicious community meals – regardless of situation, background or ability to pay thereby strengthening our community and nourishing hope. Very cool! — Jennifer Groce
