I stood yesterday with food pantry leaders from across northwest Ohio at the SeaGate Food Bank. We shared deep concerns about rising unemployment, rising food prices, and Federal cuts to food programs by the Trump administration. This is creating greater hardship across the region I represent. The burden of tariffs and irresponsible Federal food cuts are negatively affecting food banks. They are lifeline to our families. This coming Saturday, May 10, the National Association of Letter Carriers Branch No. 100 in northwest Ohio and postal workers nationwide will be holding their annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. They will head out on their routes this Saturday morning. I am urging all Americans to please find an empty paper bag and put protein, peanut butter, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned beef, green beans, and canned fruit in them. Since launching their program in 1993, this has become the largest food drive in America. Believe me, senior citizens need this. Our families with children need it. Our unemployed workers and our disabled people really need this. I encourage all who want to help to put the food out this Saturday morning after 10 o'clock. Mr. Speaker, may God bless America and Americans who care. ____________________
