Voices of the SNAP Challenge

Inspired by the work we have been doing over the last year with our Treasure Coast Hunger Free Community Coalition, our Martin County Hunger Free Coalition decided to encourage participants to take the SNAP Challenge for a week during Hunger Action Month.  The SNAP Challenge asks participants to live on a $4 a day per person food budget to bring awareness to the experiences of the millions of Americans who are currently on food stamps and restricted to this budget.

Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, has updated their landmark study, “Map the Meal Gap,” providing further insight about the number of meals missing from the tables of America’s hungry each year – an estimated 8.4 billion nationwide. Click Image
