| H.C.R. No. 6 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Senior Life Midland Meals on Wheels program | ||
| achieved a remarkable milestone in 2025 with the delivery of its | ||
| five millionth meal; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Founded in 1974 as Community and Senior Services, an | ||
| outreach project of First Christian Church, the organization was | ||
| incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization in 1982; five | ||
| years later, the donation of the Fuhrman-Vogel Center enabled | ||
| Community and Senior Services to expand its programs and add a large | ||
| commercial kitchen to prepare food for Meals on Wheels and three | ||
| senior centers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The organization joined United Way of Midland in | ||
| 1988; in subsequent years, it launched its Retired Senior Volunteer | ||
| Program and gained federal funding to implement the Foster | ||
| Grandparent and Senior Companion Volunteer programs; the present | ||
| name of Senior Life Midland was adopted in the late 2010s to reflect | ||
| the organization's wide array of initiatives for older adults, | ||
| including Senior Corps, Homebound Services, and Senior Centers; in | ||
| order to meet the needs of local residents far into the future, | ||
| Senior Life Midland moved into a new facility in 2024; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Senior Life Midland has worked tirelessly to support | ||
| the well-being of older residents, and its Meals on Wheels program | ||
| is deserving of special recognition for providing nutritious food | ||
| and friendly social interaction to homebound individuals, | ||
| reminding them that they are valued members of the community; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||
| 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Senior Life Midland | ||
| Meals on Wheels program on delivering its five millionth meal and | ||
| commend all those associated with the organization for their | ||
| outstanding efforts; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
