                   RECOGNIZING JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES

  (Mr. CROW asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, it is my honor today to recognize Jewish 
Family Services and join them in celebrating their 150th anniversary.
  From their founding in 1872, Jewish Family Services has always 
adapted to meet the moment time and time again. They helped resettle 
Holocaust survivors in the wake of World War II, opened a group home 
for individuals with disabilities in the 1980s, and formed an 
employment services department in 2021.
  In the last year alone, Jewish Family Services helped over 25,000 
individuals stand strong against COVID-19 and even became a temporary 
Afghan refugee resettlement agency for Afghans looking to start new 
lives in the Denver metro area.
  For 150 years, our community has been made a better and more 
inclusive place to live because of the thousands of volunteers who have 
pulled upon their faith to serve our community and improve the lives of 
others.
  I congratulate and thank Jewish Family Services for their service to 
our community and look forward to what the next 150 years will bring.
