  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Du Quoin High 
School's Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club 
for their generosity on World Kindness Day. After a good fundraising 
year, the students used their leftover club funds to purchase gift 
cards to distribute to community members outside their local grocery 
store. This act of kindness helped ensure that several local families 
were able to put food on the dinner table that evening. World Kindness 
Day is a wonderful opportunity to take a moment to give back to our 
communities. It serves as a reminder that even a gesture as simple as a 
smile or a helping hand can make someone's day. I am proud of each 
member and leader of Du Quoin High School's Family Career and Community 
Leaders of America club for their hard work and generosity during a 
time when many are struggling to make ends meet. On behalf of southern 
Illinois, thank you for giving back to our Du Quoin community.
