 HONORING THE ARLINGTON FOOD ASSISTANCE CENTER'S (AFAC) PERMANENT HOME 
            CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, AND KELLER WILLIAMS, ARLINGTON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES P. MORAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 1, 2011

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Arlington Food 
Assistance Center's (AFAC) Permanent Home Capital Campaign, and Keller 
Williams, Arlington, both of which are located in Virginia's Eighth 
Congressional District.
  AFAC's Permanent Home Campaign was launched in 2008. The goals of the 
campaign are to pay off the mortgage of their new building, establish a 
capital needs fund, and pay back AFAC's modest endowment fund from 
which the downpayment on the building purchase was borrowed.
  The Arlington Food Assistance Center has many generous and faithful 
friends who have assisted them in the campaign effort. They have raised 
$760,000 so far, moving closer toward their $1 million goal.
  No community partner has worked as tirelessly on this effort as the 
Community Outreach Committee of Keller Williams, Arlington. Keller 
Williams has graciously hosted fundraisers for AFAC and their Permanent 
Home Campaign, and is now the largest donor to the Campaign--having 
raised over $100,000 in 3 years.
  I would like to commend the Arlington Food Assistance Center for 
their work on behalf of the less fortunate in Arlington County and 
recognize Keller Williams, Arlington, for partnering with them in 
support of their Permanent Home Campaign and overall mission to feed 
the hungry in our region.
