assure that children will not suffer academically because they are 
hungry: Now, therefore, be it

Public Law 101-587 
101st Congress 
Joint Resolution 
To designate October 1-31,1991, as "Community Center Month". 
Whereas Community Centers are large and complex cultural, social, 
and recreational institutions dedicated to preserving the well-
being of a vital and vibrant segment of the United States; 
Whereas there are Community Centers, branches, and camps serv-
ing a large clientele of people across the continent; 
Whereas Community Centers feature programs and services for all 
age groups, from infants through the elderly, and for people with 
disabilities and special needs; 
Whereas Community Centers serve as gathering places for peoples 
of all denominations and offer a rich and varied program of 
educational and cultural opportunities; 
Whereas the first Community Centers came into being during the 
second half of the nineteenth century to provide social, rec-
reational, and intellectual activities for community members in 
the United States; 
Whereas, as the nineteenth century progressed into the twentieth 
and the United States became a haven for hundreds of thousands 
of peoples fleeing the oppression and pogroms of Eastern Europe, 
Community Centers turned their energies and attention to the 
enormous task of acculturating the new immigrants, teaching 
them English and the meaning of United States citizenship; 
Whereas after the influx diminished and Community Centers 
evolved once again into institutions dedicated to preserving good 
citizenship through educational, cultural, social, and recreational 
programs; and 
Whereas, as Community Centers enter their second century of 
providing service, it is most fitting that we recognize their impor-
tant contribution to the fabric of life in the United States: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States 
of America 
in Congress assembled, 
That Octo-
ber 1-31, 1991, is designated as "Community Center Month", and
