  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of Aurora Interfaith Community Services, a non-profit 
agency that has created a remarkable legacy. The Aurora Interfaith 
Community Services has provided compassion and care to those in need

within the Aurora community since its inception in 1968.
  In 1968, Aurora's first community service agency was created then by 
a group of women and several church organizations. These pioneers 
recognized the needs of the less fortunate members of our community, 
and they created this remarkable organization to address those needs. 
Back then, Aurora Interfaith Community Services initiated the 
collection of food, clothing, and other supplies for distribution. The 
Aurora Interfaith Community Services still provides these services 
today.
  I would also like to recognize the executive director, Judith M. 
Barrow, Ph.D., and the volunteers and staff of the Aurora Interfaith 
Community Service. I congratulate them and their predecessors for all 
they have done for Aurora over the past 50 years and I look forward to 
seeing how Aurora Interfaith Community Services will continue to serve 
those in need for the next 50 years.
  It is an honor to recognize all for their dedicated service to our 
entire community in Aurora, Colorado.
