The Amador County Board of Supervisors convened on September 9, 2025, to address several key issues, including the recognition of September as Hunger Action Month. The meeting began with a brief celebration of California's statehood anniversary, marking 175 years since its admission to the Union.

During the public matters segment, Supervisor Crews acknowledged the historical significance of the date, reflecting on the county's formation shortly after California became a state. The board then moved to approve the agenda and consent items without public comment.

A significant portion of the meeting focused on a resolution to declare September 2025 as Hunger Action Month in Amador County. Beth Stanton from the Interfaith Food Bank presented the initiative, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in addressing food insecurity. She highlighted that many families in the county face tough choices between purchasing food and covering essential expenses like housing and medical care.

The board unanimously approved the resolution, reinforcing its commitment to raising awareness about hunger and supporting local food assistance efforts. The resolution encourages citizens and businesses to contribute to food banks and participate in events throughout September aimed at combating hunger.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the board's dedication to addressing food insecurity in Amador County and highlighted the vital role of community engagement in tackling this pressing issue.
