                        Friday, October 28, 2022

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Crossroads 
Community Services Dallas, a nonprofit in North Texas that goes above 
and beyond to help with food insecurity in our community.
  Crossroads Community Services selflessly ensures families can feed 
their children and get back on their feet during hard times. What 
started as a ministry at First United Methodist Church in DFW has 
turned into a life changing operation for thousands of families.
  Crossroads serves more than 26,000 people each month, and that number 
only continues to grow. During the pandemic--as families were 
unemployed and quarantined--they distributed nearly 12 million pounds 
of food to North Texans.
  Their dedication to helping families during challenging times has 
changed the lives of families across the metroplex. On behalf of our 
entire community, I would like to thank Crossroads for their service to 
North Texas and providing an essential lifeline to thousands of 
families in need.
