                        Thursday, March 9, 2006

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Foothill Family 
Service of Pasadena, California. During the month of March, 2006, 
Foothill Family Service will be celebrating its 80th Anniversary.
  Believing that strong communities begin with healthy families, the 
mission of Foothill Family Service is to strengthen and support adults, 
children and families so that they can lead productive lives. Foothill 
Family Service is committed to the prevention and treatment of child 
abuse, domestic violence, school failure, teen pregnancy and school 
violence.
  Foothill Family Service offers a plethora of mental health and social 
service programs to residents of the San Gabriel Valley, Pomona Valley, 
Glendale and Burbank communities. Some of the programs offered are 
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment, Mental Health Treatment, Family 
Violence Prevention, Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Dual Diagnosing 
Services, Counseling, and Senior Services. ESTEEM School-Based Services 
is a program that provides on-site counseling and mental health 
services at schools in the San Gabriel Valley and in Glendale.
  The organization has widespread support throughout the community with 
many volunteers that donate thousands of hours. Last year, Foothill 
Family Service assisted more than 20,000 children, adults, and 
families, most of whom receive subsidized services and have a monthly 
net income of under $1 ,000. Services are provided in many languages, 
including English, Spanish, Armenian, Korean, Farsi, Vietnamese, 
Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese.
  I am proud to recognize Foothill Family Service upon its 80th 
Anniversary and I ask all Members to join me in congratulating this 
invaluable organization for their remarkable achievements.
