WHEREAS, Our communities draw immeasurable strength from |
|
|
individuals such as Alessandro Sanchez of Leander, whose |
|
|
contributions to the House District 136 Neighbor to Neighbor Food |
|
|
and Wellness Program have greatly benefited area Texans; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program |
|
|
was established through a partnership between Hill Country |
|
|
Community Ministries and the offices of State Representative John |
|
|
Bucy III and a bipartisan group of local leaders to check in on area |
|
|
senior citizens and people with disabilities and to provide them |
|
|
with food deliveries; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This noteworthy initiative benefits from many |
|
|
dedicated volunteers, including Mr. Sanchez, who has given |
|
|
generously of his time to help some of the most vulnerable local |
|
|
residents; on March 27, 2020, the program made its first |
|
|
contactless deliveries to those with an urgent need for food; the |
|
|
service has since grown to support more than 120 families each week, |
|
|
and volunteers have delivered upwards of 40,000 meals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through his diligent work with the Neighbor to |
|
|
Neighbor Food and Wellness Program, Alessandro Sanchez has |
|
|
demonstrated the power that all citizens have to make a positive |
|
|
difference, and it is indeed fitting that he be recognized for his |
|
|
commitment to being a force for good; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Alessandro Sanchez for his |
|
|
contributions to the House District 136 Neighbor to Neighbor Food |
|
|
and Wellness Program and extend to him sincere best wishes for the |
|
|
future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Sanchez as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
