Imagine a one-person food budget of only $29.27 per week
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Cleveland is partnering with the Cleveland Jewish Federation, the Cleveland NAACP, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, St. Alban's Episcopal Church, and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral to promote this year's Cleveland Food Stamp Challenge.
That's what it's like for a SNAP or Food Stamp recipient. Take the Food Stamp Challenge here in Cleveland to live for one week on the average food stamp benefit of $29.27.
For one week, Sunday, November 17 through Saturday, November 23, join activists across the country taking the Challenge and calling attention to the national crisis of hunger and poverty. Together we will send a message to our public officials that we need to support SNAP and help keep millions from hunger and poverty.
