Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to learn that the Carolina Community Actions, Inc. will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary this year; and
Whereas, since August of 1965, Carolina Community Actions has provided assistance to low income individuals and families throughout Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Union, and York counties; and
Whereas, community actions agencies like Carolina Community Actions, Inc. were set in motion when President Lyndon B. Johnson announced the "War on Poverty" and the creation of Head Start Programs; and

Whereas, Carolina Community Actions confronts the causes of poverty and addresses the full range of family needs which leads to families becoming self-sufficient and communities benefitting from the sale of goods and services, jobs being generated, and taxes being paid; and
