                         PAT WALKER RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOE CUNNINGHAM

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 12, 2020

  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Pat Walker 
and her contributions to bettering the Lowcountry, one meal at a time. 
For the past eight years, Pat has served as the President and CEO of 
the Lowcountry Food Bank and helped increase their efforts for food 
distribution of underserved communities in our district.
  Pat's entire life has been about service to others--from a 30-year 
career in education as a high school teacher and guidance counselor, 
followed by her 10 years at East Cooper Meals on Wheels as President 
and CEO prior to joining the Lowcountry Food Bank in 2012. As her 
friends and colleagues will tell you, Pat's job is not as much an 
occupation as it is higher calling. Her legacy to the organization 
includes exceeding all goals established by Feeding America and 
expanding into the 10 coastal counties of South Carolina with three 
food distribution centers along the coast.
  Pat Walker will now get to enjoy a well-deserved retirement and can 
rest assured that her tenure at the Lowcountry Food Bank leaves a 
blueprint for further growth. I thank Pat for her service to the 
Lowcountry. It is leaders like her that make our community a better 
place for everyone to live.
