A Resolution recognizing the month of September 2024 as "Hunger Action Month" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution designates September 2024 as "Hunger Action Month" in Pennsylvania to raise awareness about food insecurity. It highlights that one in eight residents and one in six children face limited access to adequate food, a problem that affects both urban and rural areas. The measure encourages public and private entities, including businesses and community groups, to engage in efforts to support hunger relief organizations. By formally recognizing this month, the Senate aims to mobilize support for the 1.5 million Pennsylvanians who rely on food banks and pantries annually.
