United Way Day; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, United Way chapters work with local community |
|
organizations to find creative solutions to the various problems |

organizations across the state that mobilize thousands of |
|
volunteers each year; and |
|
|

|
supporting a wide range of causes, including education, |

financial stability, and 2-1-1 information service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The United Way draws on the generosity and |
|
volunteerism of communities to reinvest the hundreds of millions |
|
of dollars in contributions that make for measurable change and a |
|
profound difference in the lives of countless people; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The United Way brings people together for the |
|
common good of communities throughout the world, and it is truly |
|
fitting that a day be set aside to pay tribute to this exceptional |
|
organization for its invaluable contributions to our state; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
