A senate RESOLUTION

TO HONOR GREATER GREENWOOD UNITED MINISTRY AT THE 
CELEBRATION OF ITS THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, TO THANK THIS FINE ORGANIZATION FOR 
ITS THREE DECADES OF WORTHY SERVICE, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MANY MORE YEARS 
OF BLESSING IN SERVING THE GREENWOOD COMMUNITY.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate is pleased to learn that Greater Greenwood United Ministry 
(GGUM) is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary of service to the Greenwood 
community. For three decades, Greater Greenwood United Ministry has provided 
assistance for those in life and medical crisis in the Greenwood community. The 
organization opened its doors in January 1995 with seventeen charter churches 
that formed a partnership and provided ministry funding; and

Whereas, today, the 
ministry is funded by over sixty-five partner churches; individual donations; 
grants, including a clinic grant from Self Regional Healthcare; and the Music 
for Ministry fundraiser. The Crisis Ministry continues to assist with rent evictions 
and utility disconnections and offers an emergency food pantry and intervention 
programs to encourage self-sustainability for the individual or family. The 
GGUM Free Medical Clinic, open five days per week, provides four clinics. Services 
have grown to include primary medical, internal medicine, and gynecology, as 
well as an in-house pharmacy, laboratory, the Women's Health Clinic, diabetic 
education and coaching, vision services through a partnership with the 
Greenwood Lions Club, dental extractions, a mobile health clinic, and disease 
prevention and wellness services. God continues to bless Greater Greenwood 
United Ministry and its team of dedicated volunteers and staff, who extend 
Jesus' hand to "the least of these." Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor Greater 
Greenwood United Ministry at the celebration of its thirtieth anniversary, 
thank this fine organization for its three decades of worthy service, and 
extend best wishes for many more years of blessing in serving the Greenwood 
community.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Greater Greenwood United Ministry.
