By: Bucy | H.R. No. 120 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Our communities draw immeasurable strength from | ||
individuals such as Bridgette Sloan of Lowmansville, Kentucky, | ||
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. Sloan, 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, Bridgette Sloan 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 Bridgette Sloan 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. Sloan as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
