  HONORING MICHAEL FITZGERALD AND FINER FOODS FOR THEIR THANKSGIVING 
                               GENEROSITY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 16, 2015

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Michael 
Fitzgerald of Finer Foods. Since 1934, Finer Foods and the Fitzgerald 
family have put food on tables of Chicagoland's restaurants, grocery 
stores and cafeterias. Finer Foods is truly one of Chicago's iconic 
family businesses.
  For the last five years, Michael and Finer Foods have graciously 
donated and delivered turkeys and Thanksgiving fixings for families in 
North Chicago, Waukegan and Zion, Illinois. I have personally witnessed 
how this generosity has impacted the lives of people suffering 
temporary economic hardship during the Thanksgiving season.
  On behalf of the people of the 10th Congressional and the hundreds of 
families who enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner, I want to offer our sincere 
and heartfelt thank you.
