WHAT IS THE SNAP CHALLENGE?

Formerly known as food stamps, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program that helps low-income people put food on the table. Participants in the SNAP Challenge exercise will gain a better understanding of the program by working in small groups to make healthy & nutritious grocery shopping choices on the average SNAP benefit.

After participating in their SNAP Challenge, our entire team felt a renewed appreciation for what they have, but more importantly, they learned how much the world around them needs their help.

How the snap challenge Works

The purpose of the exercise is to show how tough it can be for one person to eat healthy using the average SNAP benefit, let alone an entire family.

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

The SNAP Challenge asks individuals or teams to confront the difficult choices over 40 million Americans make every time they go to the grocery store.

Plan Out Your Meals

Participants have to plan out a week’s worth of healthy meals and ‘go shopping’ for the needed items on an extremely modest budget.

Make Tough Decisions

Participants are each given a list of items to choose from, without knowing the cost, and are asked to choose what they think they will need to prepare 3 healthy meals for 7 days.
