                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 21, 2017

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an exceptional member 
of the Scarsdale community, Miriam Steinberg, for her tireless 
dedication and selflessness to the Coachman Family Center Shelter. 
Miriam has donated over $50,000 worth of food and supplies for the 
homeless and deserves a great deal of recognition for her efforts.
  A lifetime resident of Scarsdale, Miriam is the President of Our 
Coupon Cares, a non-profit committed to providing supplies to homeless 
shelters through clipping coupons. Miriam's monthly visits to the 
shelter have led her to be one of the largest individual donors in the 
area. Each month, Miriam brings 15 grocery bags filled with cereal, 
snacks, juice, body wash, notebooks, board game and other supplies, 
totaling over 700 grocery bags since she became President. Currently, 
she is preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday and hopes to provide 
those with a memorable holiday.
  Miriam's altruism is a model for others to look upon, Mr. Speaker, 
she has given so much back to her community and her efforts have been 
beyond exemplary. I want to congratulate Miriam on all she has done and 
thank her for her remarkable work.
