                           SERVING OUR SAVIOR

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, during the August work period, Smith Phillips 
Building Supply hosted a customer appreciation day and supplier 
showcase that I attended in Winston-Salem.
  While I was there, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jack Shearin, 
who founded a ministry called Serving our Savior, and Harry Underwood, 
who chairs the ministry.
  Since 2000, this group has been assisting the disabled in Forsyth 
County by building handicap ramps at their homes. All the work is 
performed by volunteers, who build 70 to 80 ramps each year.
  Since the organization's inception, more than 700 ramps have been 
built. Serving our Savior does not charge for their ramps. Instead, the 
organization allows the recipients to pay what they can, and if they 
are unable to pay, funds are provided by Serving our Savior.
  This ministry is a wonderful example of the difference a small group 
of people can make in its local community, and I applaud their selfless 
work on behalf of those who need a helping hand.
