McLeod hosting food drive during SC GOP debate

Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by Jennifer Read in Election 2010

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mullins McLeod is taking advantage of Republican Andre Bauer's tasteless 'stray animals' comments last week by hosting a food drive for the Lowcountry Food Bank during tonight's big GOP gubernatorial debate in Charleston.

While S.C. Republicans shell out $500 a pop to hear Bauer and his rivals spar in front of Joe and Mika, McLeod will be at nearby Vickery's restaurant collecting donations for needy South Carolina families.

“I’m tired of embarrassing, divisive comments like that coming from South Carolina’s leaders,” said McLeod. “I want to turn this latest debacle into something positive.”

If you're in the Charleston area tonight, you can drop off non-perishable food items between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. at Vickery's on Beaufain Street.
