A resolution permitting the collection of clothing, toys, food, and housewares during the holiday season for charitable purposes in Senate buildings.

SRES 451 permits Senators, Senate officers, and employees to collect non-monetary donations (clothing, toys, food, and housewares) from fellow Senate staff during the holiday season for charitable purposes. The donations must support organizations helping people in need or military families, and must comply with Senate rules and federal law. This resolution, which expires at the end of the 118th Congress, does not create new policies but facilitates existing charitable efforts within Senate buildings. It is a procedural measure, not a substantive legislative change.
