H.R. No. 88 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Folklores Coffee House in San Antonio has | ||
demonstrated remarkable commitment and generosity with its | ||
contributions to the community during the COVID-19 pandemic; and | ||
WHEREAS, Tatu and Emilie Herrera opened Folklores on the | ||
South Side of San Antonio in March 2018; from the start, the | ||
business was intended to benefit the community, holding free | ||
markets in the shop for other local businesspeople; and | ||
WHEREAS, When the South Side began to struggle during the | ||
COVID-19 pandemic, the Herreras and the Folklores staff started | ||
providing meals to area residents who were afraid or unable to leave | ||
their residences; and | ||
WHEREAS, The coffee house originally fed 30 people a day and | ||
worked up to feeding between 200 and 300 per day across San Antonio | ||
and the surrounding area; with the assistance of volunteer drivers, | ||
Folklores provided meals to more than 90,000 people over the course | ||
of the pandemic; and | ||
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses that make a | ||
special contribution to their communities truly reflect the Lone | ||
Star State's spirit of generosity, and the owners and staff of | ||
Folklores are indeed deserving of special recognition for their | ||
initiative and compassion; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend Folklores Coffee House for its food | ||
relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and extend to Tatu and | ||
Emilie Herrera and their staff sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Folklores Coffee House as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
