   CELEBRATING LOUDOUN CARES CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 18, 2011

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the important work 
of Loudoun Cares, an innovative organization in Virginia's 10th 
District that promotes the sharing of community services under one roof 
to save on the overall costs to other nonprofits in the surrounding 
community. Loudoun Cares is a leader in the local effort to develop a 
multi-tenant nonprofit center which provides affordable and stable 
office space and shared services for Loudoun County charities serving 
families in need.
  On October 1, 2010, Loudoun Cares celebrated the completion of 
renovations to its facility. This innovative collaboration promotes 
efficiencies and enhances service delivery to citizens in need. It also 
serves as a model for other communities seeking to develop nonprofit 
infrastructure that will improve, streamline and consolidate human 
service deployment.
  The ongoing success of the 6-year-old Loudoun Cares is a direct 
result of a collaboration that includes nonprofits, faith communities, 
business partners and government.
  I would like to recognize and thank Loudoun Cares and its board of 
directors, staff, volunteers and contributors for their work on behalf 
of the Loudoun community, especially Andy Johnston, the executive 
director, and Jennifer Montgomery, director of operations.
