AI Summary
This resolution honors Agape Child & Family Services on its fifty-fifth anniversary, recognizing the organization's significant contributions to the Memphis community. Founded in 1970, Agape has grown from a two-person staff to nearly 120 team members and 2,000 volunteers, with a focus on supporting under-resourced populations through diverse services. These services include foster care and adoption support, school-based assistance addressing student challenges, workforce readiness programs to promote adult self-sufficiency, transitional housing for homeless families, Christ-centered counseling, and support for individuals considering adoption. The resolution commends Agape for its community-based approach that eliminates access barriers by providing wraparound services to strengthen families, offering hope and healing directly where people live. The Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate formally recognize Agape's exceptional work, expressing gratitude for its invaluable contributions and extending best wishes for continued success in future endeavors.
