H.R. No. 889

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, In February 2021, citizens across Texas experienced
the devastating effects of Winter Storm Uri, and in House District
26, the Attack Poverty organization played an important role in
helping the community respond to this unprecedented emergency; and
WHEREAS, Headquartered in Stafford, Attack Poverty is a
nonprofit that brings together communities of resource with
communities of need in an effort to break the cycle of generational
poverty; and
WHEREAS, Attack Poverty established warming centers and
shelters for Fort Bend County residents seeking refuge from Winter
Storm Uri, and its volunteers also provided assistance to
income-restricted senior living centers; in the aftermath of the
storm, the organization distributed 4,000 meals, 2,000 bottles of
water, and 9 pallets of fresh produce to people as well as personal
protective equipment for use during the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, Demonstrating exceptional initiative and
perseverance during a time of crisis, the members, staff, and
volunteers of Attack Poverty dedicated time and resources to help
those in need, and they are indeed deserving of special recognition
for their contributions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Attack Poverty for its outstanding service
during Winter Storm Uri and commend all those involved with the
effort on a job well done; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
