In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes Reflections of Trinity, a nonprofit based in Powder Springs, Georgia, founded in 2003. The resolution lays out the organization's history and impact, including serving 77 counties in Georgia and 56 counties out of state, distributing more than 2.35 million pounds of food in 2025, and aiding more than 770,000 individuals since opening its food pantry in 2012. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of the organization's volunteers, donations, and disaster relief efforts, and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Reflections of Trinity.
