COMMENDING PLACE OF HOPE
______
HON. BRIAN J. MAST
of florida
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, April 14, 2021
Mr. MAST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an organization that is celebrating 20 years of service to our community. Place of Hope has been dedicated to providing a stable and loving environment for children, youth, and families that are suffering from abuse, neglect, homelessness, and human trafficking.
Place of Hope has served over 17,000 children, youth, and families in our community over the past 20 years. To date, a remarkable 320
``forever families'' have been created via adoption. They are the largest, most diverse, residential children and families organization in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast. Moreover, because of their work, more than 40,000 community members have been educated about human trafficking.
Organizations like Place of Hope are indispensable to making the world and community a better place, so I congratulate them on their 20 years of service and wish them continuing success in the future.
