March 24, 1990, The Comfort House founding member, Joseph Fournier was awarded a Points of Light by George H.W. Bush.

 

President George H.W. Bush believed that every societal problem is being solved somewhere by a group or an individual. The Points of Light Award honors outstanding individuals advancing solutions in ways that demonstrate extraordinary traits: integrity, empathy, respect, optimism, conviction in the face of opposition, and belief in the power of the human spirit to create positive change.

Honorees demonstrate the transformative power of service, and are driving significant and sustained impact through their everyday actions and words that lights the path for other points of light.
