Hunger Challenge Blogroll

Can you eat three, nutritious meals a day with only $7 for a week?  That’s the sad reality for people who rely solely on Basic Food (Washington’s food stamp program).

In order to help raise awareness for this cause, people are taking the challenge and blogging about their experience!  You can participate by signing up here.

A number of awesome local bloggers are going to be taking the challenge, we highly encourage you check out their sites and share your thoughts with them!

Let us know if you’re taking the hunger challenge (either by email at ykim at uwkc.org, commenting on our blog, or tweeting to @homelesskc) and we’ll add you to our growing list!

    [...] United Way King County Hunger Challenge (MetBlog) “Can you feed yourself for only $7 a day for five days?
