                      Wednesday, November 17, 2010

  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the important work 
of the Upper Loudoun Youth Football League (ULYFL) in collecting 
nonperishable food donations for the Tree of Life Food Pantry in 
Purcellville, Virginia.
  This fall the Upper Loudoun Youth Football League partnered with Tree 
of Life Food Pantry to collect food for the individuals and families in 
the community and stock the food pantry's shelves for the upcoming 
winter season. The league divided into 25 teams and worked to collect 
nonperishable food donations. Team Chargers led the pack and collected 
3,532 pounds of food and 54 boxes of cereal, and Team Bucs followed 
close behind with 3,459 pounds of food and 142 boxes of cereal. The 
other teams included: The Titans/D Cowboys; Bulldogs/Huskies/Vikings; 
Team Mustangs; Team Oarsman; Team Packers; Team Bengals; Team Giants; 
The Gators/D Giants; The Tigers/D Ravens; Team Warriors; Team Trojan; 
The Raiders/D Redskins; The Eagles/ Flag Bengals; Team Vikings; The 
Wildcats/ Flag Panthers;Team Knights; Team Colts; Team Huskies; Team 
Aztecs; Team Seahawks; The Cougars/ Flag Pacers; Team Cheerleaders; and 
The Bandits/D Eagles. All together the league collected 23,550 pounds 
of food and 614 boxes of cereal.
  I commend all who volunteered for their tireless commitment and 
service to those in their community who are unable to make ends meet 
and put food on the table. I also commend the partnership that has 
grown between the Upper Loudoun Youth Football League and the Tree of 
Life Food Pantry in Purcellville to make available leftover food to 
stock the shelves of the food pantry.
  In closing, I would like to thank the coaches, the league, the 
parents, and the players for their dedicated efforts and support for 
the community.
