What if you had to feed yourself on just $7 a day?

Take the Hunger Challenge as part of Hunger Action Week March 19 to 24 and find out. Experience firsthand what it’s like to try to nourish yourself on the maximum daily food stamp benefit for someone in Washington state.

As you think hard about the money you spend to feed yourself, consider giving what you can to help Rainier Valley Food Bank provide fresh, nutritious food to 11,000 neighbors every month. Match your Hunger Challenge food budget with a donation, and we’ll stretch every dollar you donate into $12 worth of food.

The Math for One Day

One person: $7 = $84

Couple: $12 = $144

Family of Four: $22 = $264

The Math for One Week

One person: $49 = $588

Couple: $84 = $1,008

Family of Four: $154 = $1848

Several volunteers and staff at RVFB are taking the Hunger Challenge. We’ll be sharing our stories on this blog all week, writing about every penny we pinch and the lessons we learn along the way about what we eat, what we can’t afford, and how hunger is an everyday reality for so many thousands of people in our community.
