ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Martin O’Malley will commemorate the two-year anniversary of the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger, the Administration’s effort to make Maryland the first state to end childhood hunger within its borders.
In November of 2008, Governor Martin O’Malley established the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger in Maryland with Share our Strength and the Governor’s Office for Children. Maryland developed a partnership that includes community groups, activists and food programs to catch children at risk of hunger, and ensure they have nutritious food where they live, learn and play.

Last year, nearly 207,000 children in Maryland were determined to be food insecure. The Governor’s efforts are focused on five core strategies, which can be found here.
