This resolution honors Rachel Luckey, a community volunteer from Gibson County, Tennessee, who received the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award for her exceptional community service. The resolution recognizes Luckey's significant contributions, including her work with Cotton Cares, a community service initiative focused on feeding families in need, her role as a fourth-generation farmer who grows and distributes produce, and her involvement in various charitable activities such as volunteering at the Helping Hand of Humboldt soup kitchen, serving as a counselor at Lakeshore Summer Church Camp, and participating in Ronald McDonald House Charities. The resolution highlights the broader context of volunteerism in Tennessee, noting that 1.3 million state volunteers contribute 99 million hours of community service annually, valued at $2.6 billion to the state's economy. By honoring Luckey, the Tennessee General Assembly seeks to recognize her embodiment of the state's volunteer spirit and her dedication to helping others through her culinary skills, farming background, and community engagement.
