E1739 | Congressional Record, Volume 164 Issue 206 (Monday, December 31, 2018) [Congressional Record Volume 164, Number 206 (Monday, December 31, 2018)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1739] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER 20TH ANNIVERSARY ______ HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize a wonderful organization in my district that this year is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the Community Resource Center located in Mamaroneck, New York. The mission of CRC is today more important than ever. Formerly the Hispanic Resource Center, it is a 501(c)(3) community-based organization founded in 1998 to promote the cultural, economic, educational and professional integration of immigrants to the already established larger community. It is also dedicated to advocating for those in need. CRC aims to provide the tools to prepare new immigrant families to become self-sufficient and active members of the community. Over its 20 years in existence, CRC has grown from a community initiative designed and acting as a clearinghouse of information and referral services, to an organization that provides comprehensive direct client services and programs. The Center provides a host of educational programs, case management and referral services and advocate for immigrants and low-income families in need. In the past year, the Center served nearly 4,000 adults, youth, and children in three primary areas: Case management and social services; Educational programs and workshops; and Worker Center-job placement for men and women seeking employment. The Center understands that the Westchester community is strengthened by cultural and economic diversity, and the work they do in support of that cannot be overstated. Mr. Speaker, the America I know welcomes all immigrants and isn't afraid to lend a helping hand to those in need. I am proud to represent an organization like Community Resource Center that provides that loving hand every single day. Congratulations to the entire CRC team on 20 wonderful years serving the community, and here's to many more. ____________________ |
