Senator Cornyn Joins Parkhill for Midland Day of Service, Wants to Act on CARES

Since March, West Texas Food Bank has been closed to volunteers in order to protect their frontline employees & ensure their food products were safely distributed. Meanwhile, both COVID-19 and the downturn in the economy have resulted in a more than 240% increase in food being delivered with even more being requested. When the food bank re-opened its doors to volunteers with strict physical distancing and COVID-19 guidelines, volunteers from Parkhill’s Midland office were first in line to serve. Senator John Cornyn also joined the volunteer efforts on August 17. Parkhill has a valued client relationship and lengthy volunteer history with WTXFB.
