If you could only spend $5 a day on food, how do you think you would manage? That is what it is like for people who qualify for SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The average benefit a person who qualifies for this important program receives is $4.28 a day for food.
We don't often think of Montgomery County as a place where many would qualify for such a program, but there are thousands of households in the county who apply for access to the program every month.
Montgomery County Council member Valerie Ervin invites you to join her in taking the SNAP Challenge and highlight how it feels to live in poverty. Members of the County Council, our state legislative delegation, and Board of Education have committed to taking the challenge. You can find more information on the SNAP Challenge and who is involved by clicking this link. And you can follow people and tell your story on Council Member Ervin's special Facebook page.
Can you spend the week of February 4-8 living on $5 a day for food? Take the SNAP Challenge and find out.
