Proclamation – Hunger Action Month, September 2023

“Whereas September of each year is recognized across Canada as Hunger Action Month by Food Banks Canada, its provincial food bank associations, community food banks and local food assistance programs; and

Whereas addressing the household food security needs of children, youth, adults, and families today is fundamental to the future of Northumberland County; and

Whereas the need for comprehensive coordinated emergency food programs places upon our community a critical responsibility; and

Whereas Hunger Action Month is a time when we recognize the work being done at local food banks, school nutrition programs, community meal and hunger relief programs;

Now Therefore Be It Resolved That I, Warden Mandy Martin, on behalf of Northumberland County Council, do hereby proclaim September 2023 as ‘Hunger Action Month’ in Northumberland County.”
