Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, said he knows firsthand the importance of local food pantries and other organizations that help the needy.  \u201cMy father ran a homeless shelter for 30 years so it\u2019s something I\u2019m specifically in-tune with and care about,\u201d Kinzinger said after his tour of the We Care of Grundy County facility. We Care assists about 7,000 families with food, rent, utilities, prescriptions and holiday assistance each year.  Kinzinger also toured the Rockford Rescue Mission and the DeKalb Salvation Army food pantry Monday to see how the organizations are working to meet needs in their communities this holiday season.  \u201cIt\u2019s the holiday season, it\u2019s a tough time ... so I think it\u2019s important to highlight how the private sector \u2013 through donations and community involvement \u2013 can help folks who are down and out,\u201d Kinzinger said.  Kinzinger spent about an hour at the We Care facility, talking with Executive Director Denise Gaska and meeting volunteers.  \u201cYou get to see communities come together and unite behind what is an unfortunately growing need and has been growing especially in the last few years,\u201d Kinzinger said.

Gaska said she was happy to see a congressman recognize the work being done at the community level to fill the gaps in assistance.
