WHEREAS, Meals on Wheels Texas is an affiliate of Meals on | ||
Wheels America, which supports more than 5,000 community-based | ||
adult nutrition programs across the country; the Texas affiliate | ||
was organized to promote and support member networking and | ||
best-practice sharing education and pilot programs and to manage | ||
the distribution of scholarship funds; and | ||

10,000 individuals and succeed with the support of more than | ||
100,000 dedicated volunteers who give generously of their time to | ||
those in need; and | ||

do more than deliver meals to the elderly and disabled; they also | ||
assist vulnerable citizens with home repairs, prescription | ||
delivery, pet care, and other supportive services that help them | ||
live healthy lives in the homes they love; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
