                       RECOGNIZING JACKSON DAVIS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 29, 2024

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
unique contributions made in our community by one of my constituents, 
Jackson Davis, who is currently in his first year of college. As part 
of his Eagle Scout Project, Jackson raised enough funds to buy a bus 
and all the supplies needed to convert the bus into a food pantry on 
wheels. He then donated the mobile food pantry to Messengers of Hope 
for use throughout the community. For his tremendous efforts, Jackson 
was recognized as the Eagle Scout Project of the Year for 2023. Jackson 
further inspired his family, extended family, friends, and fellow 
scouts to volunteer at Messengers of Hope to serve groceries and 
participate in other service projects. Part of what makes our country 
so great is the willingness of ordinary Americans to go above and 
beyond to selflessly give back to others. Volunteerism is one of the 
cornerstones of our society and part of the fabric that unites us.
  It is clear that Mr. Jackson Davis has made a profoundly positive 
impact on our community, and I am grateful for his service.
