                      RECOGNIZING JENNIFER DENSON

  (Ms. HOYLE of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOYLE of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a member of our 
community doing incredible work to combat hunger in Eugene: Jennifer 
Denton.
  Since 2015, she has led as executive director of Burrito Brigade, a 
volunteer-driven nonprofit that has hand-delivered hundreds of 
thousands of warm, nutritious meals to hungry people across Eugene and 
Springfield. She also created Free Little Pantries, giving neighbors a 
way to share food directly with those in need.
  During COVID, she launched Waste to Taste, a free, no-questions-asked 
grocery store that now serves more than a thousand families each month.
  Time and time again, Ms. Denson has stepped up to serve our most 
vulnerable neighbors. Her grassroots work has touched thousands of 
Oregonians and should serve as an inspiration to all of us.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Jennifer for her contributions and am grateful 
to have her in our community.
