                        THREE MILLION FREE MEALS

  (Mr. SIRES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SIRES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the West New York 
School Nutrition Service Department and Nu-Way Concessionaires for 
serving the West New York, New Jersey, community throughout the 
pandemic.
  Nu-Way Concessionaires was founded in 1958 by a longtime West New 
York resident, Joseph Pantaleo, who sadly passed away in December at 
the age of 90. Joe understood the importance of giving back to his 
community and fully embodied the spirit of service.
  It is in this light that I wish to recognize the West New York School 
Nutrition Service Department, managed by Nu-Way, which has provided 
over three million free meals to the West New York community since the 
beginning of the pandemic and will continue providing meals throughout 
this summer.
  Free breakfast and free lunch have been provided every day, including 
weekends, and have provided a lifeline during a turbulent and uncertain 
year.
  I would also like to commend Sal Valenza and Jose Sabater and their 
21 employees who have worked tirelessly every day for their community 
to ensure students have access to healthy and locally sourced meals.
