|
|
marking the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2023; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Started as a small Bible study in 1973, CCA has since |
|
|
grown into a nonprofit organization with 30 employees and more than |
|
|
5,500 volunteers; the group assists area residents facing poverty |
|
|
and homelessness, with the ultimate goal of helping local families |
|
|
to thrive; in its important work, the organization is guided by the |
|
|
principles of excellence, dignity, servant spirit, trust, |
|
|
diversity, and integrity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, CCA offers a wide variety of services, including a |
|
|
food pantry, financial assistance, seasonal programs, assistance |
|
|
for seniors, and education and empowerment; in 2022, the |
|
|
organization provided more than two million healthy meals, |
|
|
contributed nearly $1.5 million toward preventing and ending |
|
|
homelessness, and gave Christmas gifts to over 1,500 children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For half a century, Christian Community Action has |
|
|
played a vital role in the North Texas community, and the |
|
|
organization is indeed deserving of recognition on this important |
|
|
milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of Christian |
|
|
Community Action and extend to all those associated with the |
|
|
organization sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for CCA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House |
|
|
of Representatives. |
