SNAP Challenge
building awareness of hunger and food insecurity
The SNAP Challenge encourages people spend a week living within the means of those who use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to build awareness of the challenges that low-income neighbors face. The challenge simulates what it is like to rely on a limited food budget.
In New Jersey, the average federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit is about $7.86 per person per day.
