SR455: SR455 QuikTrip; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes QuikTrip, the convenience store chain, for its charitable response to Hurricane Helene in State Senate District 19 in Southeast Georgia. The resolution states that QuikTrip donated $110,000 to several local relief funds and organizations, including the Toombs Strong Fund, the Weathered but Strong Fund, Manna House Ministries, Effingham Family Connection, and Screven Family Connection. It also credits the company with delivering about $45,000 worth of supplies such as water, drinks, food, and flashlights to storm-affected areas. The Senate formally commends QuikTrip for this assistance and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send the company a copy of the resolution.
