||
| WHEREAS, LifeLine Shelter for Families, a charity that | ||
| provides assistance to families with children attending schools in | ||
| the Grand Prairie Independent School District, is holding its 20th | ||
| annual Freedom Luncheon on June 8, 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The nonprofit organization was established in 2003 | ||
| by Angela Giessner, who sought to address homelessness among | ||
| schoolchildren in Grand Prairie; her organization began partnering | ||
| with Grand Prairie ISD to help families pay their rent, utilities, | ||
| and other expenses, and to date, it has made a difference in the | ||
| lives of thousands of local children; its annual Freedom Luncheon | ||
| is only one of the organization's initiatives designed to raise | ||
| money for families experiencing homelessness, and today it serves | ||
| approximately 150 families, including some 400 children, in the | ||
| area each year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For two decades, LifeLine Shelter has been extending | ||
| a helping hand to Grand Prairie residents in need, and its Freedom | ||
| Luncheon plays a significant role in enabling the organization to | ||
| pursue its important mission; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor LifeLine Shelter for Families on the | ||
| occasion of its 20th annual Freedom Luncheon and extend to all those | ||
| associated with the organization sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for LifeLine Shelter for Families as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
