                        Friday, August 10, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate the 
opening of Habitat for Humanity's new Thousand Islands Area ReStore.
  Habitat for Humanity has a long history of serving Jefferson and 
Lewis counties by providing affordable housing to those in need. In 
order to continue its mission, Habitat for Humanity is expanding its 
services to a new ReStore in Watertown, New York. At this location, 
Habitat for Humanity will sell furniture, appliances, home accessories, 
building materials and more for an affordable price. Habitat for 
Humanity's ability to offer these goods and services at the ReStore is 
made possible by the hard work of volunteers and donors throughout the 
community. By working on behalf of their neighbors, the volunteers of 
Habitat for Humanity continue to enrich the North Country community.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to thank Habitat for 
Humanity and its volunteers for providing an invaluable service to the 
North Country. We are grateful for Habitat for Humanity's commitment to 
this region, and look forward to the benefits that the ReStore will 
provide for years to come.
