Help Raise Awareness of Local Hunger with the #SNAPChallenge
Could you live off of a SNAP (used to be referred to as "food stamps") budget of less than $6.25 a day? Could you eat regular, nutritious and healthy meals? Could you still live off of $6.25 with no kitchen or access to the tools to prepare your own meals, like many of our homeless and struggling neighbors? We challenge you to participate in our SNAP Challenge! We want to know how you would spend your dollars and what your meals would look like!  Share your challenges, your meals and your feedback with us by sharing on social media! Tag us in your Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts! Challenge your friends to the #SNAPChallenge for a day, a week or more! Raise awareness for a #HungerFreeValley!
