Bill > HJR289

This joint resolution commends the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry for its 20 years of service in combating hunger and food insecurity in Haymarket and Prince William County, Virginia. The resolution highlights the pantry's mission to eliminate hunger by serving as a reliable resource and educating the community on health and nutrition, noting its significant impact, including distributing over 550,000 pounds of food to approximately 40,000 people, 14,000 of whom were children, in the past year alone. It also acknowledges the pantry's inclusive approach of providing food without requiring proof of financial need and its efforts to assist federal employees during a government shutdown. The resolution further recognizes that the pantry's achievements are due to its dedicated volunteer staff and the generous support of the local community, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to present a copy of this resolution to the pantry as a token of admiration for its contributions.
