WHEREAS, Our communities draw immeasurable strength from |
|
individuals such as Randy Brown of Round Rock, 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. Brown, 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, Randy Brown 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 Randy Brown 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. Brown as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
