H.C.R. No. 109
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
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.
