                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Food for Thought for receiving the Arvada Chamber of Commerce's 2015 
Image Award.
   With support and initial funding from the Arvada Sunrise Rotary 
Foundation, Food for Thought today serves a tremendous need with free 
or reduced meals in public schools across the Denver metro area. The 
Food for Thought program has expanded into Denver and now delivers more 
than 1,600 weekly ``Powersacks'' and has delivered over 4,300 tons of 
food in total to children in need. The support from the Arvada Sunrise 
Rotary Foundation was instrumental in this program and the expansion of 
the program into Denver.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Food for Thought for this 
well-deserved recognition by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce.
