  Mr. GALLEGO. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Neighborhood 
Ministries, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
  Founded in 1982 by Kit Danley, who remains President of the 
organization today, Neighborhood Ministries has continuously aided the 
Phoenix community from the day it opened. The organization has found 
success in broadening its reach through four crucial programs. Those 
programs are Neighbors at Work, Neighborhood Family Services, 
Neighborhood Spiritual Development, and Education for Life. These 
programs focus on at-risk youth and young adults in obtaining 
employment, providing families with the basic needs of life, creating 
opportunities for people to explore their faith and spirituality, and 
education assistance in pursuit of providing an educational and 
mentoring support system.
  Neighborhood Ministries through their core values of Incarnational 
Love, Leadership Development, Work of Justice, Community, and many 
others has been able to effect ``whole generations of families [that] 
have forever been changed by being shown a way out of the cycle of 
poverty that grips most urban communities,'' in its 40 years of 
existence.
  I would like to again congratulate Neighborhood Ministries on 40 
years of faith and service.
