                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 20th 
Anniversary of the Habitat for Humanity--Grand Traverse Region's 
ReStore located in Traverse City, Michigan. Established in 2003, the 
ReStore quickly grew to become an asset in the community and has helped 
many in Northern Michigan. I am certain that, given their extensive 
track record of offering a hand up to those in need, they will continue 
to create a positive ripple effect for the communities they serve.
  Beginning as an offshoot of Habitat for Humanity, the ReStore has an 
illustrious history of community service and has been sustained by the 
numerous volunteers and staff that have provided key services over the 
last two decades. I commend all directly involved in making the ReStore 
a success, as well as a safe and reliable option for quality goods 
within any budget. Offering items ranging from household appliances to 
building materials, they allow for quick and easy solutions to their 
community's needs through their donated stock.
  Celebrating 20 years in Traverse City, the ReStore held a fruitful 
event to highlight their achievement, connect with the community, and 
to relight the store with more efficient LED lighting. I would like to 
thank everyone involved for contributing to this event's success and I 
look forward to seeing greater progress for years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the Habitat for Humanity--
Grand Traverse Region's Restore in Traverse City for 20 years of 
continued service to the community. On behalf of Michigan's First 
District, I wish the ReStore's volunteers and staff the best in their 
future endeavors.
