The Human Services Network has re-issued the Colorado Food Stamp Challenge for the week of August 20, following the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute and the Colorado Anti-Hunger Network Challenge around June 5's National Hunger Awareness Day.
The challenge is to purchase, prepare and eat only the food that can be purchased on the average Colorado food stamp budget of about $25 per person per week--$3.57 per person per day.
The Human Services Network of Colorado promotes the quality & integrity of services provided to the community by case managers and other human service professionals. Our hope is to bring the challenge to the grassroots of service to raise awareness of the policy issues surrounding the Food Stamp Program.
