Take the "Hunger Challenge" for St. Louis' Food Outreach

A message from FoodOutreach.org, the only St. Louis area organization whose mission is to provide nutritional support and enhance the quality of life of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS or Cancer. Each September, Food Outreach invites individuals, bloggers, companies and restaurants to participate in the "Hunger Challenge".

THE CHALLENGE Try to live on $29/week for all your food, that’s the average amount a Food Outreach client would receive in SNAP benefits (food stamps).

HUNGER CHALLENGE GOALS
