The resolution designates the Tuesday of the third full week of September each year as "Food Allergy and Hunger Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the intertwined issues of food insecurity and food allergies, which significantly impact the health and well-being of residents, particularly children. With over 1.15 million New Jersey residents identified as food insecure in 2019, including 375,000 children, the resolution highlights the urgent need for attention to the challenges faced by families dealing with both food allergies and limited access to nutritious food.

The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe this day with relevant activities and programs. It emphasizes the importance of coordinating these efforts with existing initiatives like New Jersey Gleaning Week and Hunger Action Month. By designating this day, the resolution seeks to promote education and awareness about the complexities of food allergies and hunger, ultimately advocating for increased support and resources for affected families in the state.
