Raskin Praises Local Community Food Networks During Congressional Hearing During a U.S. House of Representatives Rules Committee hearing about ending hunger in America Thursday morning, Rep. Jamie Raskin praised several anti-hunger organizations in his 8th Congressional District, including Adventist Community Services of Greater Washington and Takoma Park Middle School Cluster Food Support. His district, which includes Montgomery County, is in the top 25% in wealth in congressional districts, Raskin said. However, during the pandemic, many of its residents have become food insecure. “We have seen terrible outbreaks of hunger and poverty over the course of the pandemic,” Raskin said during the hearing. “But better days are on the horizon,” he said, adding, “I also thank all the amazing volunteers, donors, and staff who support food banks and pantries, meal drives, and anti-hunger organizations across our communities.”
