A Resolution recognizing the month of September 2024 as "Hunger Action Month" in Pennsylvania.
This resolution officially designates September 2024 as "Hunger Action Month" throughout Pennsylvania to raise awareness about food insecurity. The measure highlights the state's significant hunger challenges, noting that over 1.5 million individuals and one in six children face limited access to adequate food. It encourages collaboration among policymakers, businesses, and community organizations to address these issues and directs attention to the work of local antihunger groups. By adopting this symbolic designation, the House aims to mobilize public support and focus resources on combating hunger during the month.
