H.R. No. 120

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Mabank Area Good Samaritans celebrated its 25th
anniversary in October 2012; and
WHEREAS, MAGS began in 1987 as a joint effort by four Mabank
churches to supply food to families in need; the group partnered
with the East Texas Food Bank in Tyler, which provided guidelines
for collecting and distributing goods; and
WHEREAS, Since that time, MAGS has grown to include nearly a
dozen member churches, and its capacity to serve the needy has
greatly increased; in 2000, the group provided food for some 2,000
people, and in 2011, that number rose to more than 6,600; a true
community endeavor, MAGS is supported by various local
organizations and individuals, in addition to its member churches;
and
WHEREAS, For a quarter-century, Mabank Area Good Samaritans
has made significant strides toward alleviating hunger and
addressing the needs of the most vulnerable, and in so doing, the
group has contributed to the betterment of Mabank and beyond; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 25th anniversary of Mabank Area
Good Samaritans and extend sincere best wishes for continued
success to all those associated with the organization; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mabank Area Good Samaritans as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
