A PROCLAMATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF DUBLIN, CALIFORNIA
“Hunger Action Month”
WHEREAS, hunger and food insecurity remain a serious and persistent challenge in communities across the United States, including here in
the City of Dublin and the Tri-Valley, where thousands of individuals and families struggle to access the nutritious food they need to live
healthy, active lives; and
WHEREAS, each September, Feeding America and its national network of food banks join with communities across the country to observe
Hunger Action Month, a time to raise awareness of the hunger crisis; and
WHEREAS, food insecurity affects people of all ages and backgrounds, including children, working families, seniors, and veterans, and can be
compounded by rising housing and living costs in our region; and
WHEREAS, no one should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for housing, health care, or other basic needs; and
WHEREAS, ensuring access to adequate nutrition is essential to the health, dignity, and well-being of every member of our community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin recognizes the importance of working together to ensure that all members of the community have access to
sufficient, nutritious food and opportunities to thrive; and
WHEREAS, residents are encouraged to participate in Hunger Action Month by volunteering, donating, supporting local hunger-relief
organizations, and learning more about food insecurity in our community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby proclaim the month of September 2026 as
“Hunger Action Month” in the City of Dublin and encourages the community to join in raising awareness and taking meaningful action to help
end hunger.
