In March of 2012, The Baltimore Partnership to End Childhood Hunger was formed to increase participation in federal nutrition assistance programs, and decrease childhood hunger in Baltimore City. Modeled after the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger in Maryland, the Baltimore Partnership engages state and local agencies as well as community leaders, elected officials and other nonprofit organizati
ons in concerted strategies to eradicate childhood hunger. The Partnership currently focuses on expanding participation in five programs in Baltimore City:
• the School Breakfast Program,
• the At-Risk Afterschool Meals Program,
• the Summer Food Service Program,
• the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or FSP), and
• the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The Baltimore Partnership to End Childhood Hunger will continue to draw additional organizations to the table while building on the childhood anti-hunger work that the following partners have been undertaking for years.
