  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania for its 
outstanding leadership and service to our local community and beyond.
  Like many Pennsylvania businesses, Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe 
faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite 
these obstacles, Martin's continued its essential work to feed the 
American people and protect their workers' livelihoods.
  Now led by President James ``Jim'' Martin, this family-owned company 
was first established as a small bakery in 1968. Since then, it has 
expanded broadly in both market reach and workforce. Today, Martin's 
Famous Pastry Shoppe employs hardworking Americans in Franklin County 
and around the country.
  Throughout its decades of service, Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe has 
maintained a clear focus on community outreach and support. Starting 
with founders Lloyd and Lois Martin, the organization has prioritized 
community focus. Each year, this company gives back to our Chambersburg 
community and supports charities in Pennsylvania and around the world.
  On behalf of the 13th District of Pennsylvania, I am honored to 
recognize Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe for its incredible work

team in our shared service to Franklin County, and I wish them 
continued success.
