JOSHUA'S HEART FOUNDATION
(Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize two
outstanding constituents from my district in South Florida: Claudia
McLean and her 9-year-old son Joshua Williams who founded Joshua's
Heart Foundation 4 years ago.
Next month, Joshua and Claudia will be honored by the Sodexo
Foundation at its annual dinner right here in Washington, DC.
The Joshua Heart Foundation's mission is to work toward ending global
hunger as part of an overall community effort. Once a month, Joshua's
organization distributes food, in addition to feeding the homeless
every week. They deliver food to the sick, the elderly and the
helpless. Currently, food is provided for over 100 homeless people and
about 450 families on a monthly basis.
Claudia and Joshua, I would like to commend you for your service to
our community and indeed our Nation. Thank you for your dedication and
your commitment to improving the lives of South Floridians in need.
