S. RES. 314

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

November 15, 2005

Mr. Hatch (for himself and Mr. Bennett) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to

RESOLUTION

Designating Thursday, November 17, 2005, as Feed America Thursday.

Whereas Thanksgiving Day celebrates the spirit of selfless giving and an appreciation for family and friends;

Whereas the spirit of Thanksgiving Day is a virtue upon which our Nation was founded;

Whereas 33,000,000 Americans, including 13,000,000 children, continue to live in households that do not have an adequate supply of food;

Whereas almost 3,000,000 of those children experience hunger; and

Whereas selfless sacrifice breeds a genuine spirit of Thanksgiving, both affirming and restoring fundamental principles in our society: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate—

(1)

designates Thursday, November 17, 2005, as Feed America Thursday; and

(2)

calls upon the people of the United States to sacrifice 2 meals on Thursday, November 17, 2005, and to donate the money that they would have spent on food to a religious or charitable organization of their choice for the purpose of feeding the hungry.
