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 sufficient access to food, the resolution highlights the negative impacts on health and education, particularly for children, where nearly one in four face food insecurity. The House of Representatives expresses its commitment to improving the lives and health of Arkansans by addressing this pressing 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 aimed at addressing 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.
