          IN RECOGNITION OF ANNUAL STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I stood yesterday with food pantry leaders 
from across northwest Ohio at the SeaGate Food Bank. We shared deep 
concerns about rising unemployment, rising food prices, and Federal 
cuts to food programs by the Trump administration.
  This is creating greater hardship across the region I represent. The 
burden of tariffs and irresponsible Federal food cuts are negatively 
affecting food banks. They are lifeline to our families.
  This coming Saturday, May 10, the National Association of Letter 
Carriers Branch No. 100 in northwest Ohio and postal workers nationwide 
will be holding their annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
  They will head out on their routes this Saturday morning. I am urging 
all Americans to please find an empty paper bag and put protein, peanut 
butter, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned beef, green beans, and 
canned fruit in them.
  Since launching their program in 1993, this has become the largest 
food drive in America. Believe me, senior citizens need this. Our 
families with children need it. Our unemployed workers and our disabled 
people really need this. I encourage all who want to help to put the 
food out this Saturday morning after 10 o'clock.
  Mr. Speaker, may God bless America and Americans who care.
