The Strategic Plan to End Childhood Hunger resulted from the passage of Resolution Number 19-1235, which was introduced in the Montgomery County Council by then-Council President Gabe Albornoz. In partnership with the County Executive Marc Elrich, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Montgomery County Food Council collaborated to design a comprehensive government strategy to end childhood hunger in the County. This plan harnessed the expertise of local residents and organizations to identify food access barriers and strategies that will reduce food insecurity across all childhood age groups, and the recommendations given have been implemented countywide.
