A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR AND 
RECOGNIZE THE PICKENS COUNTY MEALS ON WHEELS ORGANIZATION FOR THEIR MANY YEARS 
OF SERVICE AND COMMITMENT TO THE SENIOR CITIZEN AND HOMEBOUND COMMUNITIES OF PICKENS 
COUNTY. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful to the Pickens County 
Meals on Wheels Organization for their dedication and service to the senior 
citizen and homebound communities in Pickens County; and

Whereas, the Meals on 
Wheels Organization works with volunteers to provide and deliver meals to homebound 
individuals and senior citizens within the community. They deliver meals Monday 
through Friday, not only providing a daily meal, but daily human connection, helping 
to combat the effects of hunger, loneliness, and isolation; and 

Whereas, Pickens County Meals 
on Wheels strives to provide a continuum of care for active, aging, and 
homebound individuals by providing them and their families with the services 
that they need, ensuring that they are valued members of the Pickens community; 
and 

Whereas, Pickens County Meals 
on Wheels understands that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important. Along 
with the South Carolina Department on Aging, through the Appalachian Council of 
Governments, they have established the Young at Heart Dining and Activity 
Center, where seniors are able to dine for lunch, socialize, and participate in 
a variety of activities, such as structured fitness, exercise, recreation, and educational 
and nutritional programs, helping them to lead and maintain balanced lives; and 

Whereas, Pickens County Meals 
on Wheels also works alongside the Clemson Institute for Engaged Aging-Brain 
Health Club, to meet the social and emotional needs of adults with early to 
mid-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, while also providing 
meaningful resources and support for their caregivers. This program provides a 
safe, loving environment outside the home for the well-being of each 
participant, allowing them to participate in activities and socialization 
opportunities. They offer a variety of activities that are designed to 
socially, creatively, intellectually, physically, and spiritually stimulate the 
participants' bodies and minds. The program's many activities include group 
singing, arts and crafts, community service projects, reminiscing, exercise, 
games, puzzles, and socialization activities. This program also provides 
respite for caregivers, offering them personal time away during the day to rest 
and take care of personal concerns. Additionally, this program can provide 
information regarding available community care and resources, Alzheimer's 
information, and caregiver education; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the work that the Pickens 
County Meals on Wheels Organization does to better the quality of life for the 
senior citizens and homebound individuals in their community. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, honor and recognize the Pickens County Meals on Wheels Organization 
for their many years of service and commitment to the senior citizen and homebound 
communities of Pickens County.
