Several members of Congress, including Rep. Salinas, Rep. Adam Smith, Rep. Kim Schrier, Rep. Shontel Brown, and others, have been actively involved in supporting local food banks and pantries during the holiday season. They have volunteered, discussed ways to better support food banks, and secured federal funding to ensure the availability of food for those in need. The efforts have resulted in additional meals being provided to the community.
Thanks to @SenAmyKlobuchar for visiting @2harvest (and packing bread!); Rep. @BettyMcCollum04 for visiting the @HallieQBrownCtr food shelf; and Rep.@Ilhan for visiting @CES_Minnesota in recent weeks! We’re fortunate to have a federal delegation that cares about #hunger in MN. https://t.co/zm5OjBM3k1
My office attended the @CleFoodBank Legislators Holiday Volunteer event to learn more about their work and hunger in our community. I’m proud to have secured federal funds for the Food Bank and to support nutrition benefits. None of our neighbors should go hungry. https://t.co/KbzKWbX2Pb
Today, I volunteered at @goodrootsnw food bank in Buckley refilling food lockers. These lockers, which I helped secure federal funding for, have assisted the food bank in providing an additional 700 meals per week for those who need it to pick up at their convenience. https://t.co/AqpyIxTeWB
The holiday season is a great time to give back to our communities. Today my staff volunteered at the Multi-Service Center Food Bank in Federal Way. https://t.co/yQE8UYVwhc
I recently met with @yourfoodshare and discussed ways Congress can better support our local food banks. I’ll keep working to deliver federal funding to ensure food banks and pantries can stay fully stocked this holiday season. #OR06 https://t.co/LtJXQBNYmC
