The resolution aims to raise awareness about food insecurity in Arkansas, which has been identified as the state with the highest rate of food insecurity in the United States, according to a 2023 survey. With over 19% of families lacking access to sufficient food and nearly one in four children facing food insecurity, the resolution highlights the negative impacts on health, education, and overall well-being. The House of Representatives expresses its commitment to improving the lives of Arkansans by addressing this critical issue.

To combat food insecurity, the resolution outlines several actions for the House of Representatives, including collaborating with hunger relief organizations and healthcare groups to raise awareness, encouraging members to visit local food pantries and schools during School Breakfast Month, and developing policies to address food insecurity, such as implementing universal breakfast programs for public school children. Additionally, the resolution calls for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of these initiatives to ensure progress in alleviating food insecurity in Arkansas.
