  Ms. PINGREE of Maine. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize an incredible 
effort in Maine, the Cross Walk Community Outreach Food Pantry in 
Naples.
  In a time of such need the Cross Walk Community Outreach Food Pantry 
has been tireless in its efforts to help its neighbors in Western 
Cumberland County. Twice a month they gather to help residents in the 
towns of Naples, Sebago, Casco, Bridgton and Harrison with free meals 
and food boxes. They do this not with a large budget, but with a very 
dedicated set of volunteers.
  Maine is a state that has struggled with food insecurity and the 
Cross Walk Community Outreach Food Pantry is making a small step in 
eradicating hunger in Maine. Neighborhood efforts like this demonstrate 
Maine's unbreakable community bond in our fight against hunger in Maine 
today.
