A Resolution designating the month of September 2024 as "Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Month" in Pennsylvania.
This resolution designates September 2024 as "Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Month" in Pennsylvania to raise awareness about student hunger and food waste. The bill highlights the issue of food insecurity among children and references the federal Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which mandates specific nutritional standards for school meals. It also mentions "share tables," a strategy allowing students to return unopened food for others to take, as a method to reduce waste and improve nutrition access. The measure is symbolic and does not alter existing laws or create new funding or mandates.
