                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 16, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hands of the 
Carpenter from Golden, Colorado on receiving the 2024 Golden Rotary 
Club's Ethics in Business Award.
  For over two decades, Hands of the Carpenter has provided crucial 
support to single mothers through free and low-cost automobile repairs 
and maintenance. Hands of the Carpenter has grown significantly since 
its inception, going from assisting a handful of women each year to 
helping over 600 last year alone. For many single mothers, a reliable 
vehicle can make a world of difference. Hands of the Carpenter helps 
bring stability to often uncertain circumstances.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to recognize the Hands of the Carpenter organization for 
all they do for our community.
