On the recordDecember 4, 2020
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank the Central Texas Food Bank for being a leader in the fight against hunger and for their commitment to serving our community over the last 40 years. Their generosity and dedication to our Texas neighbors is at the heart of the American story. Last year alone, they provided 39 million meals to central Texas families, including those in Burnet, Coryell, Bell, Lampasas, Hays, and Travis Counties in the 25th District. I was grateful for the opportunity this fall to join them distributing food to veterans and their families in the Austin area, and I look forward to working together in the years to come. Mr. Speaker, I thank all the volunteers who are working around the clock to provide food for families during a time that has presented unique and unforeseen challenges, especially as we celebrate this holiday season. By mobilizing our communities to serve and inspiring younger generations to give back where they can, they are making us a stronger and a better nation. May God bless all of them, may God bless Texas, and may He continue to bless the greatest country on Earth, the United States of America. In God We Trust. ____________________
