||
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 | ||
recognition as it reaches this milestone in its history; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby commend the staff and volunteers of Lubbock Meals on Wheels | ||
on their commitment to community service and extend to them best | ||
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. |
