WHEREAS, Our communities draw immeasurable strength from |
|
|
individuals such as Charissa Turner of Austin, 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 Ms. Turner, who has given |
|
|
generously of her 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 her diligent work with the Neighbor to |
|
|
Neighbor Food and Wellness Program, Charissa Turner has |
|
|
demonstrated the power that all citizens have to make a positive |
|
|
difference, and it is indeed fitting that she be recognized for her |
|
|
commitment to being a force for good; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Charissa Turner for her contributions to |
|
|
the House District 136 Neighbor to Neighbor Food and Wellness |
|
|
Program and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, |
|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Turner as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
