What the heck people! Why is that there are people in the one of the richest countries in the world that have to eat on $4 a day! Is that even possible? I am not really sure. Are you?
In a few weeks I am going to find out. I am taking on the Hunger Challenge, September 20-26. I am going to try to eat for just $4 a day! The average amount Californians on food stamps have to spend on a day’s meals.
As part of the challenge I am going to donate what I would have spend on lunch, dinner, sodas, Starbucks and all the other food related items I buy everyday. UPDATE: Since Miriam’s kitchen was the focus of the recent Twestival, I have decided donate to capital area food bank instead.
Are you going to join me? No? Yes? Try it for a day? Maybe not? What every you decide you can support the Hunger Challenge by making a donation to capital area food bank, a food bank in your local area, or maybe volunteer to help feed people in your community.
I know that me taking on this challenge is not going to change the world, but I am hoping to draw a little bit of attention the issue of hunger here in the US.
Follow along as I make it (hope to make it) though the week of September 20-26, eating for $4 a day.
