                                 ______
                                 

                       TRIBUTE TO JACKIE STRATTON

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Jackie Stratton of Toole County for her tremendous efforts 
to support her community.
  Jackie, a graduating senior at Shelby High School, took the 
initiative to start a food bank at her school to help those in need.
  Jackie's FFA and Ag teacher encouraged her to apply for a grant from 
Montana State University to fund her idea. After applying for the 
grant, she received $500 from the Alpha Gamm Rho fraternity at Montana 
State University to start her food bank. Her selfless efforts then 
caught the attention of community member Lynda Barker, who was able to 
secure a $2,500 grant from the America's Farmers Build Community Bayer 
Fund to help Jackie's efforts.
  With these grants, Jackie was able to purchase a refrigerator, 
shelving, food, and hygiene products. Jackie also collaborated with the 
local Albertsons for dairy, breads, and frozen foods. Additionally, 
Jackie secured the donation of 300 pounds of ground beef from Flesch 
Angus in Shelby for her food bank.
  It is my honor to recognize Jackie for her selfless efforts to help 
her fellow students and community members in need of support during 
this difficult time. Her bold initiatives inspired-- others to give as 
well and demonstrated how Montanans can come together to help one 
another.
