Congresswoman Jenkins at DC Central Kitchen
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) and Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA) re-launched the House Hunger Caucus for the 114th Congress at the DC Central Kitchen. The Hunger Caucus is a bipartisan group of Members working to help stimulate ideas and foster solutions in the fight against hunger in America and around the world.
“Hunger doesn’t discriminate,” said Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins. “This isn’t just an urban problem, or a rural problem. This is a problem that spans generations from children to senior citizens. We need to do more and we can do more. It was a privilege to join the volunteers and staff at the DC Central Kitchen to officially launch the House Hunger Caucus. I’m proud to join with Congressman McGovern to re-establish the conversation and together help find sensible, bipartisan solutions to combat hunger.”
“Hunger touches every Member of Congress – there is not a congressional district that is hunger free,” said Congressman Jim McGovern. “One of the biggest strengths of the House Hunger Caucus is that it is bipartisan. Republican or Democrat, it is a way for Members to come together to work to end hunger. I am happy to join with Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins to officially re-launch the Hunger Caucus and can’t think of a better place to celebrate the occasion than at the DC Central Kitchen.”
