ANNAPOLIS, MD – TODAY, Governor O’Malley will host breakfast for area superintendents, principals, educators, food service providers, parents and other school leaders to promote school breakfast programs and the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger.
Last month, the Governor surprised third, fourth and fifth graders from Chadwick Elementary School to talk about childhood hunger in Maryland.
There are more than 210,000 children in Maryland at risk of hunger. The O’Malley-Brown Administration has set a goal for Maryland to become the first state to eliminate childhood hunger within its borders by 2015. In November 2008, Governor O’Malley established the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger in Maryland with Share our Strength and the Governor’s Office for Children to raise awareness about hunger in the state.
The Partnership includes community groups, activists and food programs to reach children at risk of hunger, and ensure they have nutritious food where they live, learn and play. This past November, the Governor celebrated the second year of progress for the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger.

This is one reason why this state is broke.
Let their PARENTS feed them.
And don't go on about how they can't. They don't because they know we will.
How much money is spent in Wicomico alone on feeding children in the schools?
Give us a number. Free/reduced breakfast; free/reduced lunch.
And they even want to continue to do it when school isn't in session.
Sounds like another free thing for the minorities , I just got sick.
