TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR DREW HAMPTON FOR HIS MEANINGFUL GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT TO THOSE IN NEED DURING THE FLOODS THAT ROCKED THE PALMETTO STATE IN 2015.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives should pause in their deliberations to recognize citizens like Drew Hampton, whose compassionate ministrations in his community sustained countless neighbors in the hours and days after their appalling losses; and
Whereas, as a result of the catastrophic floods that devastated the State in October 2015, many citizens suffered unimaginable loss, and others sought to share the burden in whatever way possible; and
Whereas, Columbia native Drew Hampton, owner of Groucho's Deli on Forest Drive, donated enormous amounts of food, repeatedly sending and delivering trays filled with sandwiches, to volunteers and victims during the early stages of the cleanup. He took off more than a week to help his neighbors tear out sheet rock and dry wall to begin the process of recovery; and
Whereas, always prepared to lend a helping hand to the community when a need arises, Drew Hampton literally sustained victims of the flood and the volunteers of the cleanup with food so they could stay on their feet and meet the challenges of the hour; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the commitment and dedication of Drew Hampton to his community and appreciate his significant liberality during the floods of 2015. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Drew Hampton for his meaningful generosity and support for those in need during the floods that rocked the Palmetto State in 2015.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Drew Hampton.
