|
||
| WHEREAS, The Del Valle Community Coalition has demonstrated a | ||
| steadfast commitment to supporting area residents during the | ||
| COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying economic crisis, as well as | ||
| in the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The unprecedented circumstances of the past year | ||
| have placed immense burdens on our communities, including strains | ||
| on health care resources, loss of jobs, business closures, and | ||
| damage to homes, and the members of the Del Valle Community | ||
| Coalition have set an inspiring example of civic leadership by | ||
| continuing to serve others and working toward the greater good; in | ||
| so doing, they have been a source of guidance and relief to many | ||
| individuals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A nonprofit charitable organization, the Del Valle | ||
| Community Coalition works to increase health care coverage, | ||
| advocate for environmental regulation, and find new strategies to | ||
| increase food access in underprivileged and underserved | ||
| communities; on August 29, 2020, the group partnered with the | ||
| Austin Latino Coalition to host a drive for personal protective | ||
| equipment to limit the spread of COVID-19; after Winter Storm Uri, | ||
| the coalition deployed food trucks to 13 locations to serve nearly | ||
| 8,000 meals to residents in need and held eight events to distribute | ||
| more than 2,000 boxes of food and 4,000 cases of water; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since then, the Del Valle Community Coalition has | ||
| organized many other important initiatives, including the | ||
| distribution of food, water, household supplies, and personal | ||
| protective equipment, as well as numerous COVID-19 vaccine | ||
| distribution events in east and southeast Travis County; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The tireless dedication of the Del Valle Community | ||
| Coalition has made a positive difference in the lives of countless | ||
| Texans during a time of crisis, and the organization is truly | ||
| deserving of special recognition for its efforts; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby honor the Del Valle Community Coalition for its outstanding | ||
| service to the community and extend to its members sincere best | ||
| wishes for continued success in their important work; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
