On the recordJanuary 11, 2018
On Monday, I will honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy by volunteering my time to help my community. I will be at the State College Food Bank working with its clients during distribution time. State College Food Bank, a wonderful organization under the leadership of the executive director, Carol Pioli, is a tremendously successful organization. Last year, the food bank served thousands of people and more than 700 families in the community. In addition, it shared 26 tons of food to help other nonprofit organizations with their food needs. As chairman of the Agriculture Committee's Nutrition Subcommittee, I know the vital role the State College Food Bank plays in the lives of so many. Since it opened in 1982, it has provided nutritious food to those in need. I look forward to working alongside food bank employees and volunteers on Monday because too many Americans are food insecure, and through local food banks, these individuals can receive healthy and nutritious food for themselves and their families. No one in America should go hungry, and our local food banks work every day to realize that goal. ____________________
