	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Our communities draw immeasurable strength from
	individuals such as the Honorable Heather Jefts of Cedar Park,
	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. Jefts, 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, the Honorable Heather Jefts 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 the Honorable Heather Jefts 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. Jefts as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
