AI Summary

This resolution, originating from the South Carolina House of Representatives, formally recognizes and honors Logan Wells, the founder of Fresh Friends, and commends her and her organization for their substantial positive influence on the communities they serve. Fresh Friends began as a school club at Heathwood Hall, founded by Logan Wells with the aims of promoting volunteerism, inclusivity, and friendship among students. It has since grown into a statewide South Carolina nonprofit organization, registered as a 501(c)3 (a designation for tax-exempt charitable organizations), and is open to all high school students in the state. The organization actively works to counteract societal divisions by emphasizing the unifying power of service and inclusivity, partnering with various local, statewide, and national groups to connect teen volunteers with service opportunities that benefit their communities, including collaborations with organizations like the Downtown Church of Columbia and the Salvation Army in the Midlands region. Logan Wells aims to further expand Fresh Friends by establishing chapters in more high schools, thereby increasing its reach and impact across South Carolina.
