The folks at the Maple Valley Food Bank do an amazing job providing families in need with access to healthy, fresh food. In fact, they’ve distributed over one million pounds of food to low-income people in the Maple Valley area. I’m proud to be able to support their important work with this funding. Thank you to Marilyn and Joyce for hosting me for a visit!

Dunn awards Martin Luther King Medal of Distinguished Service to Rob Nist

I was excited to honor District 9 resident Rob Nist with the MLK Medal of Distinguished Service, an award that recognizes individuals whose work has answered the question asked by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “What are you doing for others?”

In 2007, after realizing that local youth sports teams were struggling to find fields to play on, Rob rallied community support around the expansion and improvement of Ravensdale Park. Today, after many years of hard work by Rob and others, Ravensdale Park is a key resource for youth sports teams and families across Southeast King County.

Though Rob couldn't attend the award ceremony, we were able to welcome his wife Sylvia Nist, pictured above, to accept the award on Rob's behalf!
