Whereas, since 1885, the Children's Home Society of America (referred to in this

Whereas more than 400,000 children have been placed in loving, permanent 
        families by CHSA members across the United States;
Whereas CHSA members have aided in the creation of many successful and 
        sustainable programs that help children to be safe, healthy, and 
        prepared for life;
Whereas the CHSA provides services to more than 570,000 children and families 
        each year;
Whereas the CHSA engages more than 12,500 volunteers to support the efforts of 
        the CHSA in finding permanent homes for children in foster care, 
        building community schools, improving the health and mental health of 
        children and families in the United States, providing temporary housing, 
        and assisting foster youth to become successful adults; and
Whereas CHSA members receive more than $90,000,000 annually in cash resources 
        from individuals and corporations to support the efforts of the CHSA: 
        Now, therefore, be it

            (2) recognizes the Children's Home Society of America for 
        leveraging human, financial, and material resources to carry

        prepared for life; and
            (3) encourages the continued efforts of the staff and
