Commending Herndon-Reston Friendly Instant Sympathetic Help, Inc.

This House resolution formally commends Herndon-Reston Friendly Instant Sympathetic Help, Inc. for its 55 years of providing emergency financial assistance to nearly 7,000 low-income residents in Herndon and Reston. The organization helps prevent evictions and utility shut-offs by offering cash aid for rent, medical bills, and food, while also running a volunteer-run thrift store and holiday programs. The bill directs the Clerk of the House to present a copy of the resolution to the organization as an official expression of appreciation for its community service.
