Rep. Tom Cross (R-Oswego) and his Ovation to Business Advisory Committee presented his monthly Ovation to Business award to Home Depot in Shorewood this morning for their dedication to civic involvement and work on behalf of the local business community.
“Home Depot, under the leadership of store manager, Marc Hanouw, has set a high standard as a partner and full member of the Shorewood community,” said Cross. “The activities and programs sponsored and supported by the Home Depot Team throughout the community is truly impressive. From the ‘Kids Workshop’ events on the first Saturday of every month to holding ‘Kids Clinics’ at local schools and pre-school facilities teaching children motor skills, Home Depot represents the best virtues of civic service and helping Shorewood be an even better ‘home’ for all residents. I am pleased to present them with this award.”
Home Depot is located at 621 Brook Forest Avenue in Shorewood. The business employs 150+ during peak season (100 during regular season). In addition to donations of free vegetables for schools with ‘grow their garden project,’ Home Depot partners with the Shorewood Community to sponsor Community Garden and Crossroads Fest, as well as many Chamber events. Annually, Home Depot makes a donation to the City of trees and pumpkins for the ‘Fall Fling’ and associates volunteer to help children decorate pumpkins.
