                           HON. JOHN H. ADLER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 8, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Joseph 
Caruso, a resident of Delanco, New Jersey and dedicated volunteer at 
Catholic Charities, Emergency and Community Services.
  Joe has been volunteering with Emergency and Community Services for 
the past two years as a trained tax preparer. As one of two tax 
preparers, Joe has provided free tax preparation for hundreds of 
seniors and low-income residents of Burlington County.
  In addition to his tax services, Joe took on the temporary duties of 
the Pantry Manager. Through his dedication and commitment to the 
program's goals, he reorganized the food pantry, handled all food and 
household donation pick-ups, developed a food inventory tracking 
system, provided routine maintenance of the pantry's refrigerators and 
freezers, and advocated with donors to secure additional food items for 
the pantry program.
  Joe does whatever is necessary to make sure that our hungry neighbors 
do not go without food and quietly goes about his work not expecting or 
wanting any accolades. He has been a valuable asset to the program and 
his selfless efforts have to be recognized.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you please join me in congratulating Joe 
for his outstanding and dedicated service to the less fortunate in our 
South Jersey communities.

                          ____________________
