“We recently returned to Congress after celebrating Thanksgiving, a time when we pause and reflect on the many blessings that our community bestows upon each one of us. Today, I am proud to recognize an outstanding citizen from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who worked tirelessly for over three decades to ensure residents were able to enjoy the holiday surrounded by friends and good food. Lois Wheeler of Lower Makefield began serving Thanksgiving meals to the underprivileged in our community in 1980. Known as ``Bountiful Harvest Feasts,'' Lois hosted between 125 and 200 people yearly at the Masonic Lodge in Fairless Hills. Lois' dedication to serving the hungry began in high school. While attending Neshaminy High School in Langhorne, Lois saw a classmate who was not able to afford lunch. Wheeler was so moved, she would bring him sandwiches to eat. When they were not available, she would give away her own lunch. Lois is truly beloved in our community. Her continued generosity has earned her the nickname ``Sister Wheeler,'' and she has also been called the ``Mother Teresa of Bucks County.'' While Lois' health prevented her from participating this year, her legacy of service to Bucks County cannot be erased. We applaud Lois for her charity and generosity, and wish her and her husband, George, all the best. {time} 1045 Recognizing the Lingohocken Volunteer Fire Company and the Council Rock School District's ACHIEVE Program”
