                        Thursday, April 21, 2005

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise may to congratulate the Glendale 
Salvation Army for 80 years of providing outstanding social services to 
the City of Glendale and surrounding communities.
  Established on June 1, 1925, the Glendale Salvation Army has a firm 
vision of maintaining a multi-program facility while serving a multi-
ethnic neighborhood. The Glendale Salvation Army provides spiritual 
social services and excellent community outreach.
  The Salvation Army participates in several outstanding programs that 
bring hope to the hearts of those that walk through their doors. Meals 
on Wheels provides hot, nutritious meals to those unable to leave their 
homes or prepare their own food. Volunteer drivers deliver the meals 
and socialize with the recipients. The Lord's Kitchen is a growing 
partnership with nine Glendale churches that help Glendale's homeless 
and low-income families with food and rental or utilities assistance. 
The Nancy Painter Home is a partnership with the City of Glendale and 
U.S. Housing and Urban Development. The home provides hope for families 
trapped in a cycle of homelessness. Six families with children may live 
in the facility for up to 2 years while they put their lives back 
together. The Salvation Army is also supportive of Silvercrest which is 
a 78 unit senior low-income housing complex. In addition, the 
organization supports an outstanding after school tutoring program for 
middle school students. These are just some of the exemplary services 
that the Glendale Salvation Army provides to meet the specific needs 
within the community. Each program remains faithful to the Army's vital 
mission.
  I ask all Members of Congress to join me today in congratulating the 
Glendale Salvation Army for 80 years of exemplary public service, and 
for its immense commitment to the City of Glendale and its residents.
