Is $1 per meal enough to live on?

Is it enough for a busy parent to provide healthy food so that children can grow strong and succeed in school?

Is it enough to provide a worker enough energy to succeed at the workplace and enough nutrition to stay healthy?

Find out for yourself by taking the Food Stamp Challenge.

When you take the Challenge, you get a glimpse into what it’s like for people on food stamps.

But it’s about more than understanding, it’s about action.

When you take the Challenge, you help share the word about the importance of caring for children and poor in our country. You join part of a movement that is raising awareness about the issue, starting conversations, getting the message out in the media, and letting our leaders in Washington know that this is an important issue.

Why this is important Right Now!

This October, Congress will take up funding for Food Stamps. Here’s the scary part: President Bush has proposed to cut food stamp funding to help pay for the war in Iraq (source 1 2 3).

If food stamp funding is cut this year, it won’t be up for debate won’t be until 2012. That means five years of not giving children and working families the support they need. This is an important time to take notice, take the Challenge and take action.
