A RESOLUTION
Recognizing and commending Scattering Resources, Inc.; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, founded in October 2009, Scattering Resources, Inc., serves as a bridge between
those who have resources and those who need them, scattering hope, dignity, and tangible
help, one resource at a time; and
WHEREAS, founder Dr. Tamara L. Moore, inspired by her late grandmother Philomene
Homere, was called to action in 2008 when devastating mudslides struck Northern Haiti; and
WHEREAS, when the catastrophic 2010 Haiti earthquake struck months later, the
organization immediately mobilized, solidifying its mission to help those without the basic
necessities to live with dignity in both the United States and Haiti; and
WHEREAS, 16 years later, Scattering Resources, Inc., addresses a critical yet often
overlooked crisis: hygiene insecurity; and
WHEREAS, many people across Georgia, the United States, and Haiti must choose between
purchasing soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and other hygiene essentials or paying for food, rent,
and utilities; and
WHEREAS, Scattering Resources, Inc., recognizes that dignity begins with access to basic
hygiene necessities; and
WHEREAS, beyond immediate relief, Scattering Resources, Inc., provides clothing, school
supplies, and disaster response while offering career and financial empowerment workshops
that help individuals break cycles of poverty; and
WHEREAS, since 2009, the organization has served over 10,000 individuals, distributing
thousands of hygiene kits, clothing items, school supplies, and emergency relief resources;
and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this extraordinary organization be
appropriately honored.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body
recognize and commend Scattering Resources, Inc., for 16 years of unwavering support and
dedication to the citizens of the State of Georgia, the United States, and Haiti.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Scattering
Resources, Inc.
