| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize March 1, 2023, as United Way Day at the State | ||
| Capitol; and | ||
| WHEREAS, United Way partners work collaboratively at the | ||
| local level to create opportunities for improving the well-being | ||
| of their communities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, United Way's programs support educational, | ||
| financial, and health services and the 2-1-1 information and | ||
| referral hotline for social services; Texas United Way agencies | ||
| meet their goals through fundraising and extensive community | ||
| reinvestment; and | ||
| WHEREAS, More than 60 local United Way organizations | ||
| exist in Texas, some of which manage 12 of our state's 2-1-1 | ||
| call centers, connecting Texans in need to local resources, | ||
| including medical services, affordable housing programs, | ||
| employment assistance, food and nutrition services, and crisis | ||
| hotlines; and | ||
| WHEREAS, As Texas United Way celebrates 20 years of 2-1-1 | ||
| Texas, it is important to recognize the devoted volunteers who | ||
| connect individuals to support services and collaborate with | ||
| community partners to aid those in need; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Local philanthropy and volunteerism are | ||
| indispensable assets to our state; United Way agencies have | ||
| effected measurable change and strengthened communities | ||
| throughout Texas, and it is fitting that they are recognized for | ||
| their many contributions to the state; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize United Way staff, volunteers, and | ||
| donors for their outstanding contributions to the State of Texas | ||
| and extend to them best wishes for a memorable United Way Day at | ||
| the Capitol; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| United Way as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
