This bill is a House Resolution that formally recognizes and celebrates the grand opening of the Chesnee Faith Home Resale Store on March 26, 2026. It directly affects Faith Home Christian Recovery, a rehabilitation program for individuals struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, and the community members who support it. The resolution acknowledges the organization's work in providing free residential recovery programs and notes that the resale store's revenue helps fund these services.
