continue all year long; and

whether Pennsylvanians reside in urban or rural communities; and
WHEREAS, The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many of the

this issue and more must be done to increase activity at the
Federal, State and local levels; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate recognize the week of November 16
through 22, 2025, as "Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week" in
Pennsylvania.
