Designates Tuesday in third full week of September each year as "Food Allergy and Hunger Awareness Day."
SJR 21 designates the Tuesday of the third full week of September each year as "Food Allergy and Hunger Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This procedural resolution raises public awareness about the intersection of food insecurity (affecting over 1.15 million New Jersey residents, including 375,000 children) and food allergies (impacting roughly 1 in 10 residents), particularly highlighting how allergies complicate access to affordable, safe food for vulnerable families. It does not create new programs or funding but encourages annual recognition through proclamations by the Governor and coordination with existing awareness efforts like "Hunger Action Month."
