Supporting the designation of the week of September 16 through September 20, 2024, as "Malnutrition Awareness Week".

HRES 1462 is a symbolic resolution supporting the designation of September 16-20, 2024, as "Malnutrition Awareness Week." It does not create new laws or funding but recognizes the significance of malnutrition as a public health issue affecting vulnerable groups, including older adults, children, and communities of color. The resolution highlights existing programs like the Older Americans Act and Federal child nutrition initiatives, while encouraging awareness and access to nutrition services. It serves as a non-binding acknowledgment of malnutrition's impact and ongoing efforts to address it.
