                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 9, 2014

  Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, today, I pay special tribute to an 
outstanding citizen from the State of Maryland, Arnold Harvey.
  One of the great strengths of this country is how the American people 
look out for one another. When our neighbor is suffering, we lend a 
hand.

  Arnold Harvey personifies that virtue. A Waste Management commercial 
driver for over 20 years, Mr. Harvey saw individuals and families in 
need along his route and worked to do something about it. In 
cooperation with his employer, Mr. Harvey organized food and clothing 
drives. He also founded a non-profit, God's Connection Transition to 
help those in his community in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Today, in 
partnership with grocery stores, retailers, churches and shelters, his 
non-profit donates food to 5,000 families a month.
  Arnold Harvey is a shining light helping others during dark times. 
The Congressional Record should reflect the good work he has done as a 
permanent testament to his generosity and the generosity of the 
American people.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Arnold 
Harvey for his outstanding service to his community.
