RECOGNIZING THE LIVING VINE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 152 (Thursday, September 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 152 (Thursday, September 24, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E980-E981] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE LIVING VINE ______ HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER of georgia in the house of representatives Thursday, September 24, 2026 Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The Living Vine, a Savannah maternity home celebrating its 30th anniversary this September. Since opening its doors in 1996, the nonprofit maternity home has provided pregnant women and their babies with a safe residential environment, life skills preparation, and spiritual support aimed at helping mothers build stability and work toward independence. This organization is one of Savannah's crown jewels and stands as a testament to the heart and care of the Savannah community. [[Page E981]] Countless mothers and their babies have passed through the doors of this organization, and are much better for having done so. The work that The Living Vine does is crucial and often overlooked by many. I would like to join the countless babies and mothers helped by The Living Vine in saying thank you for their work, and please do not stop any time soon. ____________________
