  Ms. PINGREE of Maine. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize an incredible 
program in Maine, the ``Mothers and Others Against Hunger'' through the 
York County Shelter Programs.
  The York County Shelter Programs is a homeless services provider in 
Alfred, Maine, that has been in operation for more than thirty-one 
years and continues to be an essential part of York County--over the 
years caring for thousands of Mainers.
  Maine is a state that has struggled with food insecurity and 
``Mothers and Others Against Hunger'' is making great strides in 
eradicating hunger in Maine. Projects like this demonstrate Maine's 
unbreakable community bond in our fight against hunger in Maine today.
