  Mr. MAST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an organization 
that is celebrating 20 years of service to our community. Place of Hope 
has been dedicated to providing a stable and loving environment for 
children, youth, and families that are suffering from abuse, neglect, 
homelessness, and human trafficking.
  Place of Hope has served over 17,000 children, youth, and families in 
our community over the past 20 years. To date, a remarkable 320 
``forever families'' have been created via adoption. They are the 
largest, most diverse, residential children and families organization 
in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast. Moreover, because of 
their work, more than 40,000 community members have been educated about 
human trafficking.
  Organizations like Place of Hope are indispensable to making the 
world and community a better place, so I congratulate them on their 20 
years of service and wish them continuing success in the future.
