Anne Sheridan
Maryland Director, No Kid Hungry Campaign
Share Our Strength
Anne Sheridan is the Maryland Director for the No Kid Hungry Campaign, a newly created position at Share Our Strength, the nation’s leading organization working to end childhood hunger in America.
There are nearly 207,000 children and youth in Maryland who do not have ready or reliable access to food. With critical support from Governor O’Malley, and the Governor’s Office of Children, she helps manage the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger in Maryland, a strong and growing coalition of organizations and agencies, working to implement a comprehensive, five-year plan to end childhood hunger by 2015. She is committed to developing and implementing grassroots strategies to increase the impact of the partnership and bring attention to the issue.
Before joining Share Our Strength, she worked in political campaigns for many years at the local, state and national levels, and for a long list of organizations involved in progressive electoral politics. She thinks that if people in this country are going to be angry, they should be angry about the right things, like the fact that nearly 17 million kids struggle with hunger. Her political hero is Eleanor Roosevelt, and she bakes a mean chocolate cheesecake.
