End Hunger Summitt: The purpose of the Summit is to learn what's being done to help end hunger and to share ideas and best practices with each other. The Summit is sponsored by The Governor's Partnership to End Childhood Hunger.

This is an important and historic event, and Calvert County was selected as the site because of our reputation for working together across denominational and racial lines. There is no political agenda here, just clergy coming together to fulfill our calling to care for the needy. Register at www.endhungercalvert.org
