PROCLAMATION
September 2025: Hunger Action Month
In Minnesota food banks and food shelves have experienced a significant increase in
demand, with food shelves seeing a record number of visits.
The 2024-2025 One Minnesota Budget has provided $7.5 million to food shelves and
ensured free meals for students through the National School Lunch and Breakfast
Programs. This investment is a continued step toward a future without hunger and was
a response to record high food shelf visits, rising inflation and the ending of pandemic
relief programs.
Minnesota is committed to addressing hunger today and preventing it tomorrow.
Working closely with food banks to educate the public and advocate for policies that
end hunger in our state.
We also sincerely appreciate the efforts of faith communities and organizations like
Second Harvest Heartland, SACA, Meals on Wheels, and Every Meal backpack
program. Their work inspires hope and reminds us of our shared responsibility to care
for one another.
During Hunger Action Month, I encourage everyone to volunteer, donate, and support
these vital efforts. Together, we can ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amdda Marquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia
Heights, do hereby proclaim September 2025 to be Hunger Action Month in the City of
Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A.
