                       Thursday, October 31, 2019

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Fighting Hunger at Mines for receiving the Golden Mayor's Gold Mine 
Award for Excellence.
   Fighting Hunger at Mines is a unique campus group that is dedicated 
to improving the physical and mental health of students at Mines and 
the Golden community. Their programming addresses food insecurity 
that's pervasive on college campuses, while raising awareness to local 
food resources and educating students on healthy eating habits. By 
working with the Golden Backpack Program, GoFarm and other partners, 
Fighting Hunger at Mines distributes healthy food to nearly 150 
students each week and has made a substantial difference on campus and 
in Golden.
   I congratulate Fighting Hunger at Mines for receiving this well-
deserved honor by Mayor Marjorie Sloan. I thank them for their 
contributions to our community.
