                       Tuesday, February 14, 2017

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the 
managers and employees of Home Depot Store 1234, who have consistently 
gone out of their way to support and restore a clean and safe community 
in Buffalo, New York. Their service and work with community leaders is 
recognized today by None Like You/We Care Outreach and the City of 
Buffalo.
   Employees from the Service Desk, Pro Desk and the Garden, Paint and 
Plumbing departments have been instrumental in helping to restore 
several houses on Southampton Street and other areas in the Eastside 
and Westside of the City of Buffalo. They have given paint for inside 
and outside house projects for over 30 years and have also been a 
tremendous help in providing flowers, shrubs, bushes, top soil and 
mulch for the past several years. These materials have gone to help 
community gardens, and the properties of seniors, disabled residents 
and families who could not otherwise afford it.
  During the Christmas season, Home Depot Store 1234 has supplied None 
Like You/We Care Outreach and St. Luke's Mission of Mercy with fresh 
cut Christmas trees for families in need.
  Mr. Speaker, I honor Home Depot Store 1234 and their admirable 
dedication to the City of Buffalo. Home Depot and its employees have 
made many dreams come true for the citizens of our community and 
certainly deserve this recognition by None Like You/We Care Outreach 
and the City of Buffalo.
