|
||
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. | ||
