                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 19, 2010

  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the important work 
of food banks and food pantries in the 10th District of Virginia and 
their hard work and dedication to serving their communities.
  Serving Fairfax County are Food for Others, SHARE of McLean, and 
Reston Interfaith. In Loudoun County are Loudoun Interfaith Relief, 
LINK, Seven Loaves, Tree of Life, and Guilford Food Pantry. In Prince 
William County is SERVE Inc. In Fauquier County is Fauquier Food Bank. 
In the Shenandoah Valley is Lord Fairfax Food Bank. Without the devoted 
workers who generously volunteer their time and efforts to feeding the 
community, countless individuals would go hungry each day.
  I commend all of the volunteers and staff for their tireless 
commitment and service to those who are unable to make ends meet and 
put food on the table. I also commend the partnership that has 
developed between local grocery stores and food banks and food pantries 
to make available leftover and unused food, and I also thank those in 
the community who donate food to fill food pantry shelves.
