  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate Citi Global 
Community Day, an annual event held throughout the globe, where Citi 
workers and volunteers come together to support and give back to the 
neighborhoods and communities where they live and work.
  For more than two centuries, Citi has shown up for those in need. 
Citi colleagues, alumni,

partners, clients, family and friends dedicate their time and skills 
through hundreds of events year-round, and also come together globally 
for the annual Global Community Day campaign. Through their collective 
efforts, they help address critical community needs, support local 
organizations, and drive meaningful change across the globe.
  Structured to address specific community needs including literacy, 
housing, environmental protection, nutrition, and health care, Citi 
Global Community Day has provided quality volunteer opportunities that 
empower participants to make a meaningful and lasting impact in 
communities around the world. Over the last two decades, more than a 
million volunteers have come together to contribute their time and 
skills, supporting communities around the world through hands-on 
service and meaningful engagement.
  This year, the Citi Buffalo team will have four hundred volunteers 
packing 50,000 meals for Western New York families in collaboration 
with U.S. Hunger to be distributed to community partners, including the 
Buffalo City Mission and FeedMore Western New York. This critical 
effort will help address food insecurity by providing essential meals 
to families and community members in need across the region.
  Today, we thank the volunteers and colleagues of Citi as they 
celebrate Citi Global Community Day. The organization's unwavering 
commitment to supporting and empowering neighborhoods and communities 
across the globe. Citi Global Community Day continually adapts to meet 
the needs of our community and future generations by inspiring their 
limitless potential, and I join all Western New Yorkers in thanking all 
who are participating.
