A RESOLUTION

Recognizing the importance of voluntary community based resource recovery efforts through the RESCUER initiative and encouraging counties and municipal corporations in this state to explore voluntary resource recovery programs utilizing digital platforms to facilitate food sharing within local communities; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, communities across Georgia regularly discard edible food while individuals and families within those same communities may experience food insecurity; and

WHEREAS, the concept known as the Georgia Resource Exchange and Sharing for Community Uplift and Emergency Resilience (RESCUER) initiative promotes voluntary community based sharing of edible food through digital platforms that connect local residents, food banks, restaurants, grocery stores, and other retailers within a local community; and

WHEREAS, voluntary food recovery efforts can reduce food waste while expanding access to edible food within local communities; and

WHEREAS, many communities have expressed interest in voluntary programs that connect local residents, food banks, restaurants, grocery stores, and other retailers to facilitate food sharing; and

WHEREAS, digital platforms can assist communities in organizing voluntary food sharing programs while allowing participation to be limited to members of a local community; and

WHEREAS, voluntary coordination among community members can strengthen local resilience, reduce unnecessary food waste, and support efforts to address hunger within local communities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize the importance of voluntary community based resource recovery efforts through the RESCUER initiative and encourage counties and municipal corporations in this state to explore voluntary resource recovery programs utilizing digital platforms to facilitate food sharing within local communities. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to counties and municipal corporations in this state.
