                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Chad Audi's 
years of service to our community and the State of Michigan.
  The Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries started as a soup kitchen in 
1909. It had a reputation for serving hot meals, providing canned 
goods, and other necessities to feed many people who had so little. 
Today, they offer numerous services including substance abuse 
treatment, transitional and permanent housing, job preparation, and 
educational courses. Starting as a volunteer in 1994, Dr. Audi has 
worked tirelessly to transform this organization.
  After 10 years of service, Dr. Audi became the President and CEO of 
the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries in 2004. Since then, he has 
helped to make this community institution into the largest rescue 
mission in the United States. The resources they offer to women, 
children, senior citizens, and veterans, have made the Detroit 
Metropolitan Area a better place to work and live. Dr. Audi's tenure 
and contributions reflect his passion for service, his commitment to 
his community, and his calling to improve the lives of others. Dr. Audi 
deserves our utmost respect and admiration and this world would be a 
better place with more people like him.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the work of 
Dr. Chad Audi and the strength he has given to the Detroit Rescue 
Mission Ministries.
