Bill > SR74

This resolution recognizes and commends interfaith organizations and volunteers for their critical disaster cleanup efforts in Georgia, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The resolution highlights how religious organizations from Georgia and neighboring states (including South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida) came together to provide essential support to communities impacted by natural disasters, contributing over one million volunteer hours to help affected residents. These volunteers performed crucial tasks such as clearing debris, repairing homes, removing fallen trees, and providing direct assistance to thousands of homeowners. The resolution emphasizes how these interfaith efforts demonstrate the strength of community collaboration, showcasing unity, understanding, and compassion across diverse religious communities. The Georgia Senate formally acknowledges the volunteers' dedication and hard work in restoring hope and normalcy to disaster-stricken areas, and encourages continued inter-community support for future disaster response and recovery efforts. Additionally, the resolution directs the Senate Secretary to distribute copies of the resolution to leaders of the involved interfaith organizations.
