                        Tuesday, March 17, 2015

  Ms. DelBENE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Together Center in 
Redmond, Washington. This month, they will be celebrating their 25th 
anniversary.
  For the past quarter-century, Together Center has worked as a 
coalition of several agencies, providing services and resources such as 
shelter, counseling, child care, mental health services, and medical 
and dental care. Together Center has an incredible impact on the lives 
of more than 40,000 individuals in East King County every year.
  Together Center has become an integral part of the community, 
supporting individuals and other organizations by connecting them in a 
convenient and efficient manner. Individuals may address a variety of 
needs on one of Together Center's three campuses, which conveniently 
house 20 agencies.
  I greatly appreciate the work Together Center does to lower the 
barriers to getting critical help that many people need, such as 
medical care or temporary shelter.
  I want to thank Together Center for their steadfast commitment to our 
local community, and congratulate them on their impressive record of 
achievement since 1990.
