Issue Position: Summer Meals

Issue Position

In Maryland, nearly 20 percent of U.S. households with children are food insecure, meaning they don't have reliable access to enough food to provide healthy meals for their family. People struggle with hunger in every county and congressional district in Maryland. Negative impacts of food insecurity for children include struggles in school, developmental impairments, social and behavioral problems. Maryland can do more with supplementing federal programs that provide funding during the summer months for families in jurisdictions with high levels of childhood poverty.
