HR 1355: First Senior Center of Georgia; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing the First Senior Center of Georgia (FSC), a nonprofit founded in 2017 by Von Tran that provides free services to elderly Vietnamese residents in and around Atlanta.

It lists some of the group's programs, including a bi-weekly food pantry for low-income seniors 65 and older, social and community health services, interpretation and translation help, transportation, funeral support, and rental assistance. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it simply has the House formally recognize the organization and directs the Clerk of the House to send FSC an official copy of the resolution.
