Tran, is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free services to the Vietnamese

language barriers, limited education, and the difficulties of adapting to a modern

culturally and linguistically competent health and social services to Vietnamese and minority
seniors in Georgia and to cultivate a community where Vietnamese and minority seniors
have a sense of belonging, experience exceptional care, and lead fulfilling lives; and
WHEREAS, the First Senior Center of Georgia operates a bi-weekly food pantry dedicated
to serving low-income families with seniors aged 65 and above, social & community health
services, interpretation & translation, transportation, funeral support services, and rental
assistance; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable organization be
appropriately commended.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
the members of this body recognize the First Senior Center of Georgia and extend their best
wishes for its continued growth and success.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
