 Take the Food Stamp Challenge

How does it feel to be food insecure? And how well do the “safety nets” that exist assuage hunger? During November --a month in which food is central to our celebrations and charitable giving-- the Social Justice Committee invites you to participate in the Food Stamp Challenge. The Challenge will give you a view of what life can be like for millions of low-income Americans. You will experience the difficulty of making food choices on a limited budget, and get a deeper sense of how difficult it is to avoid hunger, afford nutritious foods, and stay healthy with too few resources. 

We ask you to take the Challenge for 5 days, living on $4.75 per day worth of food – the average food stamp benefit for New York. Participating households should use $4.75 per person x the number of people in their home x five days.

Please click here for details and to sign up for the Challenge.
