      MARK RYBECKI AND THE FOOD SOURCE NETWORK OF MYRTLE BEACH, SC

                                 ______


                     HON. MARSHALL ``MARK'' SANFORD

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 8, 1996

  Mr. SANFORD. Mr. Speaker, today is a special day in the fight against 
hunger around the United States. The Congressional Hunger Center and 
Victory Wholesale Grocers of Dayton, OH, presented the third annual 
Victory Against Hunger Awards to recipients from across the Nation.
  On behalf of the First District of South Carolina, I take special 
pride that one of our own is a recipient of this important award. The 
Food Source Network of Myrtle Beach, SC, headed by Chef Mark Rybecki, 
is a 1996 Victory Against Hunger Award recipient.
  The Food Source Network is an unique program among those dedicated to 
eradicating hunger around the country. First, because it was founded by 
chefs. And second, because it is the first type of program in its 
area--there are no other such programs within a 150 miles of the Grand 
Strand area of South Carolina.
  Mark Rybecki and the Food Source Network volunteers take food that is 
left over from restaurants and other food providers, and give it to 
organizations that feed people in need. This perishable food rescue 
program enables organizations around Horry County--like the Red Cross, 
Citizens Against Spouse Abuse [CASA] and Meals on Wheels--to feed more 
people.
  I want to commend the Congressional Hunger Center for their advocacy 
on behalf of those in need. And I want to thank Mark Rybecki, and the 
Food Source Network, for doing everything possible to help those in 
need.
