We know that many Wisconsin families are feeling the strain going into this holiday season. Rising costs due to tariffs and uncertainty around affording the bare necessities are top of mind for most families.
At our December meeting, the Democratic Party of Taylor County collected approximately 50 pounds of food and a generous monetary donation of $500.00 was given to the MATI – the Taylor County food pantry located in Medford, WI. Our Taylor County food bank serves over 300 needy families monthly.
The Democratic Party wants to make sure our communities know we are here to support them in any way we can.

The conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusivity is expanding daily and will continue to evolve in 2025. While we have seen some improvements in creating a safe and accepting space for all people, there’s always more work to do. A peaceful and productive society is dependent on both diversity and inclusion. The Democratic Party of Taylor County supports diversity and inclusion.
