Designating February 26, 2013, as "Community Action Day".
Whereas, Community action agencies have been serving low-
income families throughout our fifty-five counties for more than
fifty years, striving to identify the causes of poverty and how to
achieve self sufficiency
; and
Whereas, Community action agencies conduct numerous programs
to meet the needs of low-income West Virginians including Head
Start, weatherization, housing, energy assistance, home
rehabilitation, job training and placement, nutrition for the
elderly and children, education assistance, family mentoring and
many others
; and
Whereas, The employees of community action agencies fight to
improve the lives of all West Virginians and are gifted with the
ability to see need and find fulfillment, to see sadness and find
hope and to see helplessness and find strength; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby designates February 26, 2013, as
"Community Action Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Senate invites all members of the West Virginia Legislature and all citizens of West Virginia to join
in recognizing the value and importance of community action
programs in West Virginia; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
