                  IN RECOGNITION OF ELITE PUREED MEALS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 2, 2017

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Elite Pureed 
Meals of Broomall, Pennsylvania for earning a Chester and Delaware 
County SCORE 2017 Small Business Award.
  SCORE is a non-profit organization that helps small businesses by 
providing them with mentorship and educational workshops. Small 
businesses that earn a SCORE award ``have demonstrated unique vision, 
innovation and achievement in support of America's economy and small 
business community.''
  Elite Pureed Meals deserves this designation. Colleen McCloskey was 
inspired to create Elite Pureed Meals while she operated an in-home 
care service. She witnessed a client lose a dangerous amount of weight 
due to swallowing difficulties and the unappealing food prepared for 
someone with that symptom. Colleen knew how important it was for him to 
have access to nutritious and appealing meals. She dedicated her small 
business to securing that access. Elite Pureed Meals prepares and 
delivers frozen pureed meals to those with swallowing disorders, 
helping them maintain a balanced diet and stay healthy.
  I congratulate Elite Pureed Meals on their award. I am proud to serve 
them and the other small businesses in Pennsylvania's 7th District.
