Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 28, 2026, as World Hunger Day in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 28, 2026, as World Hunger Day in New York State. It aims to raise public awareness about food insecurity, which affects over 2.6 million New Yorkers (including one in five children) according to Feeding America data. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but encourages state recognition of hunger as a critical issue and supports existing efforts by food pantries and shelters.
