| WHEREAS, Our communities draw immeasurable strength from | ||

| 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, | ||

| prepared for Ms. Turner as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
