ServiceMaster recognized by Governor's Volunteer Awards
ServiceMaster of Wichita Falls was honored with the Corporate Champion Award. A release from the Office of the Texas Governor said that under the leadership of Michael Deane Albert, ServiceMaster has delivered meals weekly since September 2023, often sending extra drivers on both delivery and non-delivery days.
In the past year, their team has served over 100 volunteer hours and provided 1,200 meals, exceeding the standard commitment. They have braved inclement weather, stepped in on short notice, and covered additional routes, all while providing consistent and compassionate service.
'Their dedication ensures vulnerable community members receive their meals, often sacrificing personal time to fill gaps when needed most,' the release said.
There will be a reception to celebrate the award recipients during National Volunteer Month in April at the Texas Governor's Mansion.

Texas outpaces job growth nationwide, Gov. Abbott commends economy
AUSTIN (KFDX/KJTL) — Texas Governor Greg Abbott recognized Texas as the leader of annual job creation in the nation. Over the last 12 months, Texas has led the nation in job creation, with 198,300 nonfarm jobs added. Based on June data, Texas set new records with the number of Texans working and the size of the labor force in the state. 'Thanks to the strength of the Texas economy, more Texans are working than ever before,' said Governor Abbott. 'While we pause to celebrate job gains over the year, we also recognize the strength of Texans throughout this disaster and the outpouring of support from our fellow Americans over the last two weeks.' Data about June employment from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Texas Workforce Commission shows that: Texas reached a new high with the largest labor force ever in the state's history at 15,850,100. Texas reached a new high for Texans working, including self-employed, at 15,210,500. The unemployment rate in Texas dropped to 4.0% over the month of June. Texas added 198,300 nonfarm jobs from June 2024 to June 2025, more than any other state and growing at a faster annual rate than the nation as a whole.

Wichita Falls city council backs grant for Circle Trail project
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The city is attempting to complete the Circle Trail by applying for a grant through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). On Tuesday, June 3, Wichita Falls city council signed a resolution supporting the city's efforts. It's a step that city officials needed to take to apply for the grant by Friday, June 20. Assistant Public Works Director Tyson Traw said the grant is competitive. If approved, the grant will cover 80% of the construction cost. The city will match 20%. The total cost is about $5.6 million. 'This will include the construction funds for the construction, design and environmental permitting if necessary,' Traw said. 'We intend to incorporate a lot of safety measures, bollards and things like that that we've heard from concerned citizens.' At the last city council meeting, Lake Shore Drive neighbors continued to raise concerns about the trail's location. Traw said the city should know by October whether it has received the grant. From there, it could be another two-and-a-half years before the last of the trail is complete. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
