Let’s Move Mid-Atlantic Summit
Making sure children have access to nutritious meals where they learn, play and live. There is enough food but many eligible kids do not participate in free/reduced price school meals or summer meal programs. Share Our Strength works to fundraise, raise awareness, provide nutrition education and invest in state partnerships to end childhood hunger in Maryland. Governor O'Malley has made ending childhood hunger by 2015 one of his strategic goals and partners with Share Our Strength and other organizations to achieve this through initiatives like increasing school breakfast participation.
