WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize March 1, 2023, as United Way Day at the State Capitol; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, United Way partners work collaboratively at the |
|
|
local level to create opportunities for improving the well-being |
|
|
of their communities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, United Way's programs support educational, |
|
|
financial, and health services and the 2-1-1 information and |
|
|
referral hotline for social services; Texas United Way agencies |
|
|
meet their goals through fundraising and extensive community |
|
|
reinvestment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, More than 60 local United Way organizations exist |
|
|
in Texas, some of which manage 12 of our state's 2-1-1 call |
|
|
centers, connecting Texans in need to local resources, including |
|
|
medical services, affordable housing programs, employment |
|
|
assistance, food and nutrition services, and crisis hotlines; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, As Texas United Way celebrates 20 years of 2-1-1 |
|
|
Texas, it is important to recognize the devoted volunteers who |
|
|
connect individuals to support services and collaborate with |
|
|
community partners to aid those in need; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Local philanthropy and volunteerism are |
|
|
indispensable assets to our state; United Way agencies have |
|
|
effected measurable change and strengthened communities |
|
|
throughout Texas, and it is fitting that they are recognized for |
|
|
their many contributions to the state; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby recognize United Way staff, volunteers, and |
|
|
donors for their outstanding contributions to the State of Texas |
|
|
and extend to them best wishes for a memorable United Way Day at |
|
|
the Capitol; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
United Way as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
