R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In recognition of its outstanding service to the 
community, Mobile Loaves and Fishes of Austin has received a 
prestigious Governor's Volunteer Award for 2004; and
	WHEREAS, The Governor's Volunteer Awards program has a 
21-year tradition of honoring the state's most dedicated 
volunteers; each year, only 13 award recipients are selected from 
among hundreds of nominees throughout the state; and
	WHEREAS, Created in 1999 by six volunteers who had a vision to 
feed the hungry in Austin, Mobile Loaves and Fishes now is supported 
by more than 4,000 volunteers, who raise money and provide food for 
the poor and homeless; a remarkably fast-growing outreach program, 
this nonprofit organization distributed 10,000 meals in Austin in 
its first year and only four years later served nearly 100,000 
people in Austin and San Antonio; in addition to food, Mobile Loaves 
and Fishes provides clothing, toiletries, prayer cards, and 
supplies; and
	WHEREAS, Since its inception, Mobile Loaves and Fishes has 
demonstrated a deep commitment to the communities it serves, and 
its success in fulfilling its mission to bring food, clothing, and 
dignity to people in need is indeed deserving of this special honor; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby congratulate Mobile Loaves 
and Fishes on its receipt of a 2004 Governor's Volunteer Award and 
extend to all those associated with this fine organization deep 
appreciation for the important service that they provide; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mobile Loaves and Fishes as an expression of high 
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
