R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Folklores Coffee House in San Antonio has
  demonstrated remarkable commitment and generosity with its
  contributions to the community during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
         WHEREAS, Tatu and Emilie Herrera opened Folklores on the
  South Side of San Antonio in March 2018; from the start, the
  business was intended to benefit the community, holding free
  markets in the shop for other local businesspeople; and
         WHEREAS, When the South Side began to struggle during the
  COVID-19 pandemic, the Herreras and the Folklores staff started
  providing meals to area residents who were afraid or unable to leave
  their residences; and
         WHEREAS, The coffee house originally fed 30 people a day and
  worked up to feeding between 200 and 300 per day across San Antonio
  and the surrounding area; with the assistance of volunteer drivers,
  Folklores provided meals to more than 90,000 people over the course
  of the pandemic; and
         WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses that make a
  special contribution to their communities truly reflect the Lone
  Star State's spirit of generosity, and the owners and staff of
  Folklores are indeed deserving of special recognition for their
  initiative and compassion; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby commend Folklores Coffee House for its food
  relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and extend to Tatu and
  Emilie Herrera and their staff sincere best wishes for continued
  success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Folklores Coffee House as an expression of high regard
  by the Texas House of Representatives.
