      RECOGNIZING HABITAT FOR HUMANITY IN SALEM COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I am here today to draw attention to the 
Habitat for Humanity organization of Salem County in south Jersey.
  Habitat for Humanity in Salem County, south Jersey, has been active 
since its creation in 1982. As one of the oldest branches, they have 
built over 40 homes, with many more in progress.
  In addition, Habitat for Humanity in Salem County has a branch of 
ReStore, which promotes sustainability in home improvement by selling 
new and gently used materials and furniture.
  I want to acknowledge their dedication to our community and to the 
welfare of those around them. The Habitat for Humanity nonprofit 
organization has made great strides in our district by building and 
renovating homes so that more citizens can have access to affordable 
housing.
  We are all proud of them in south Jersey, proud of what they have 
done. They are truly stars and truly have made a difference in 
individuals' lives.
  May God bless them.
