How much can challenge participants spend on food? FRAC recommends using the average SNAP benefit of $6 per person per day. What can participants buy? Participants can buy any food and non-alcoholic beverages, except for hot foods, such as hot rotisserie chicken (Hot foods are not permissible purchases with SNAP benefits by federal law). #MoCoSNAPChallenge Testimonial "Snap has been a tremendous help for my family, especially with the rising cost of food. It allows us to purchase a variety of healthy options which gives the opportunity to maintain a balanced and nutritio us diet. The program provides the flexibility to buy fresh, nutrient rich foods making a significant difference in our daily meals." -Manna Participant Testimonial "SNAP has impacted my family very positively and as a young adult, it has helped me build some stability for my family and keep my daughter fed. Without SNAP, it would be very hard for me to provide food regularly for me and my child. I am extremely grateful!" -Manna Participant
