Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution commends Reflections of Trinity, a Powder Springs nonprofit that provides food and other aid to families across Georgia and beyond, for its charitable work. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Reflections of Trinity for its charitable work serving families in Georgia and other states. - States detailed facts about the organization's food distribution, volunteer hours, and donations as findings of the House of Representatives. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization. - Does not create any new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a ceremonial statement of praise. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names Reflections of Trinity, its staff, and its roughly 1,892 volunteers.
