A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE STAFF AND DONORS OF THE FOOD BANK OF GREENWOOD COUNTY FOR FOUR DECADES OF HELPING THOSE IN NEED WITH ESSENTIAL FOODS AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM UPON THE occasion OF THEIR FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to learn that the Food Bank of Greenwood County celebrated its fortieth anniversary with a luncheon at Harris Baptist Church in Greenwood on January 27, 2023; and

 

Whereas, in 1983, the Greenwood County Coalition for Critical Human Needs on Edgefield Street was formed to help those in crisis in the Greenwood community, now known as the Food Bank of Greenwood County at the United Center for Community Care on East Avenue; and

 

Whereas, the food bank's Executive Director Andrea White is keenly aware of the great number of people who have been served by the food bank since the 1980s, and the need continues; and

 

Whereas, with a strong support network, including food from local restaurants and grocery stores that donate unsold products, the food bank continues to expand its various mobile sites and the network of agencies which the food bank assists in order to provide more comprehensive care for clients; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate values the work of the Food Bank of Greenwood County by helping to feed the hungry, a job that is never done, and the members congratulate the staff and volunteers for carrying out the mission to provide people's critical needs. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor the staff, volunteers, and donors of the Food Bank of Greenwood County for four decades of helping those in need with essential foods and congratulate them upon the occasion of their fortieth anniversary.
