The resolution highlights the organization's significant contributions to reducing hunger and improving health, including partnerships with the Texas Department of Agriculture's Texans Feeding Texans Surplus Agricultural Products Grant Program, which has distributed 500 million pounds of surplus produce, and collaboration with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to provide nutrition education and assistance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the food bank network demonstrated remarkable resilience by delivering over two billion pounds of food to Texans in need. The resolution specifically praises the staff and volunteers of Feeding Texas for their efforts to end hunger and improve the health of all Texans, and officially extends best wishes for a memorable Texas Food Bank Day at the State Capitol, with a copy of the resolution to be prepared as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
