“No child should ever go to sleep hungry or malnourished, and I am humbled to join so many selfless individuals spending their New Year’s Eve giving a little back and helping fight childhood hunger,” said Congresswoman Duckworth.
Most recently, the Congresswoman helped distribute turkey dinners in advance of Thanksgiving in November to less fortunate families at Schaumburg’s Church of the Holy Spirit Food Pantry.
Congresswoman Duckworth is a champion of volunteer and community service and has been a strong advocate for food security and anti-hunger initiatives. Her family relied on food stamps and school lunches to help get through a difficult period after her father lost his job.
