A RESOLUTION recognizing and honoring Dung Tran for converting his business 1
into a warming shelter during the winter storms. 2
WHEREAS, the owner of StrEatery food hall in Louisville's Beechmont 3
neighborhood, Dung Tran, transformed his business into a pop-up shelter for his fellow 4
citizens who had nowhere to go during the deadly winter storms that swept across the 5
Commonwealth in January; and 6
WHEREAS, Dung Tran took the initiative and spent hours of his time driving 7
around the south side of Louisville looking for people who needed a place to stay during 8
the brutal cold; and 9
WHEREAS, Dung Tran further expressed his benevolence and empathy by 10
traveling around a blizzard-struck Louisville in search of gloves and warm clothing for 11
the less fortunate who were staying at his shelter; and 12
WHEREAS, Dung Tran vowed to keep his shelter open longer than originally 13
planned to ensure that no one without a place to stay was forced to go back out onto the 14
streets in the unforgiving cold; and 15
WHEREAS, Dung Tran exemplifies the type of person and neighbor all citizens of 16
the Commonwealth should strive to be. Through his selflessness and kindness, Dung 17
Tran has helped those less fortunate within his community and potentially saved the lives 18
of many during the brutal winter storms that left cities and towns alike covered in snow 19
and ice; 20
NOW, THEREFORE, 21
Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of 22
Kentucky: 23
Section 1. The Senate hereby recognizes and honors Dung Tran for his 24
extraordinary selflessness and willingness to help support those in his community. 25
Section 2. The Clerk of the Senate is directed to transmit a copy of this 26
Resolution to Senator David Yates for delivery. 27
