||
| WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Lubbock Meals on Wheels on the occasion of the | ||
| organization's 50th anniversary; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Lubbock Meals on Wheels was established in 1971 by | ||
| West Texas Home Health, which undertook a project to feed homebound | ||
| people and developed the project into a nonprofit charitable | ||
| organization; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the years, Lubbock Meals on Wheels has | ||
| expanded its operation to meet a growing demand for home meal | ||
| delivery; the organization obtained a permanent location with a | ||
| kitchen for food preparation and later added a volunteer center to | ||
| the facility; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1971, Lubbock Meals on Wheels delivered 1,221 | ||
| meals to people in need, and today, its 1,700 volunteers deliver | ||
| more than 20,000 meals each year; upon finding that some people were | ||
| feeding a portion of their food to their pets, the organization | ||
| began delivering pet food in addition to meals for clients; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Lubbock Meals on Wheels has had an invaluable impact | ||
| on the community and has greatly benefited its clients and its | ||
| volunteers who find fulfillment in helping others; it is truly | ||
| fitting that this exceptional organization receive special | ||

| wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for this | ||
| exemplary organization as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Legislature. | ||
