               RECOGNIZING DISTRICT DONUTS.SLIDERS.BREWS.

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, small businesses are often on the 
front lines of partnering with local organizations and non-profits to 
fight for change in their communities. I am proud to announce District 
Donuts.Sliders.Brews. of New Orleans, LA, as Small Business of the 
Week.
  Opened on the iconic Magazine Street in October 2013, District Donuts
.Sliders.Brews., District D.S.B., has quickly become a Garden District 
staple. This establishment is not an ordinary doughnut shop. One can 
expect to find an ever-changing variety of treats ranging in selection 
from peanut butter chocolate raspberry to spicy maple praline to 
whiskey ginger. In addition to over 100 doughnut options, District 
D.S.B. also offers a variety of made-to-order sliders. The only brews 
one will find at District D.S.B. consist of the coffee variety. One of 
District D.S.B.'s most popular beverages is their cold pressed coffee, 
which has been nitrogen brewed for nearly 30 hours.
  In addition to offering a diverse selection of doughnuts, sliders, 
and brews, District D.S.B. is also well-known for partnering with local 
community organizations and non-profits. Most recently, District D.S.B. 
embarked on a partnership with Crossroads NOLA--a nonprofit 
organization for the development of a citywide foster care and adoption 
initiative. Together, the two aim to educate and engage adults in the 
greater New Orleans community of Louisiana's foster care system through 
their campaign WeDon'tServeKids. The details of this innovative 
initiative touch at the heart of the Louisiana spirit. WeDon'tServeKids 
targets Louisianians' generosity, southern hospitality, love of food, 
and appreciation for tradition through the creation of their Streatcar 
food truck. On any given night, one can find District D.S.B's Streatcar 
catering weddings, receptions, parties, and events across the greater 
New Orleans area. One hundred percent of the profits from the Streatcar 
go to support Crossroads NOLA--aiding children in foster care and 
families across the State through a variety of services the 
organization offers.
  Congratulations again to District Donuts.Sliders.Brews. for being 
selected as Small Business of the Week. Thank you for your continued 
commitment to serving kids and families in your community--effectively 
improving the lives of young folks in Louisiana for generations to 
come.
