                         Monday, April 11, 2016

  Mr. JODY B. HICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the leadership and volunteer efforts of the GIVE Center on its 20th 
anniversary. Located in Milledgeville, Georgia, the GIVE Center 
connects Georgia College & State University students with volunteer 
opportunities to help make a difference on campus and throughout the 
local, state, national, and international communities. In two short 
decades through the GIVE Center, students have completed 650,000 
volunteer hours, participated in 140,000 service projects, and 
contributed $15,000,000 of service to the community.
  With the help of 150 student organizations, 236 community partners, 
245 volunteer programs, and countless helping hands, the GIVE Center 
has established itself as a pillar of humble service. The servant-
leadership and community engagement that are displayed by the faculty, 
staff, students, and volunteers at the GIVE Center are inspirational, 
and I am honored to have a place of such excellence and achievement in 
the 10th District of Georgia.
