  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hard-working 
and dedicated Brookwood Community citizens who have stepped up to help 
our hospital heroes fighting COVID-19.
  The Brookwood Community has been serving adults with disabilities 
since 1985, providing them with opportunity and the dignity that comes 
with work. Unfortunately, social distancing and quarantining has 
prevented many of them from traveling to their jobs and supporting 
their community.
  But the Brookwood citizens didn't let COVID-19 stop them from finding 
a way to help. Through the Brookwood Cafe, these heroes have sold 
``Boxes for the Brave'' to make sure our doctors and nurses are well-
fed as they treat coronavirus patients. They also have been selling to-
go meals and family meals to make sure the TX-22 community is nourished 
as well.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
offer a Texas-sized thank you to these wonderful people for the 
important work they do and their continuing support for our doctors, 
nurses and healthcare community.
