mr. mcgovern: every year we celebrate easter and passover with food. yet for many, it's no different than any other day. it's a struggle at best and a failure at worst. it's a failure of this institution that we tolerate incredibly low wages so people are forced to choose between rent and food, clothes and food, utilities and food. we can do better. we need the white house to step up and own this issue. they can start with ewhite house conference on food and nutrition. even though millions struggle with hunger, there are good souls out there trying to help. i want to highlight one good samaritan who paid for the groceries of a young woman named andrea who was just trying to feed her kids. when she exaustd her snap benefits an unnamed woman in line gave her $70.38 so that she didn't have to return any of her groceries. this house could learn from this example, to help our neighbors rather than penalize them simply for being poor. i ask unanimous consent to include andrea's letter to this unnamed woman in line at the grocery store in the record and i yie
