Congressman Allen Visits Golden Harvest Food Bank in Augusta

Today, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) visited Golden Harvest Food Bank in Augusta, Georgia. During his visit, Congressman Allen thanked the Golden Harvest leadership team and volunteers for their service to the CSRA and surrounding communities, discussed the impacts of the harmful government shutdown, and donated a variety of nutritious food items.

Following the visit, Congressman Allen issued the statement below:

“Golden Harvest is doing tremendous work to assist neighbors and communities in the CSRA by providing nutritious food resources to those in need. I remain grateful to the leadership team, employees, and volunteers for their unwavering dedication to helping families lead happy and healthy lives. Unfortunately, the ongoing government shutdown is having real consequences here in Georgia. Over one month ago, I voted to ensure the 1.4 million SNAP enrollees in Georgia would continue receiving benefits uninterrupted, and we need the Senate to follow suit immediately. Too much time has been wasted on political games as American families pay the price,” said Congressman Allen.
