Last day of #SNAPChallenge25. 3 days, $6/day for food is hard. And Congress wants to cut SNAP benefits. Make life harder for hard working Americans, so billionaires pay less taxes? WHAT? Track budget cuts to SNAP & more here

What can that get you, practically? Rep. Shontel Brown (OH-11) took folks grocery shopping to show #SNAPChallenge25: (she reps Cleveland, OH metro) bsky.app/profile/reps...
The average SNAP benefit is $6 a day, so I just tried to buy a week’s worth of groceries for $42.
Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans want to cut SNAP to give tax cuts to billionaires.
Make it make sense.

As Congress considers more and more cuts to SNAP, we're looking back at our @fracposts.bsky.social #SNAPChallenge25 post. These cuts will result in poorer health and higher health care costs for many. #HandsOffSNAP

Andy and I participated in #SNAPChallenge25. From Tue-Thu we ate only what we'd purchased for $36, to raise our and others' awareness of the realities of trying to feed oneself and one's family on the avg. $6/person/day SNAP benefit. More in comments. #HandsOffSNAP #FRAC

SNAP returns $1.54 for every $1 spent on it. SNAP supports jobs and businesses. But what does hunger look like across PA? Take a look at these maps and recognize that there is nowhere that is untouched by food insecurity. #SNAPChallenge25 #HandsOffSNAP #PAHungerCaucus @fracposts.bsky.social

#SNAPChallenge25 Day 5 and the last day of my challenge, so this will be a longer video because in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no person should go hungry. But anti-hunger programs are on the chopping block at the federal level. #HandsOffSNAP #PAHungerCaucus @fracposts.bsky.social

I am taking the #SNAPChallenge25 for a week. Here's my grocery list, which totals $41.86 With these ingredients, I'll make oatmeal muffins, veggie chili, lentil soup, each of which will be several meals.

Debbie Weinstein, CHN's executive director, took @fracposts.bsky.social #SNAPChallenge25 to see what $6 a day can get you. A small cheese pizza, a chicken pie, a bag of peas, all frozen- and a yogurt.
Yet, many members on Congress still want to cut it. #HandsOffSNAP

SNAP Challenge for One: How much do the cutters want to take out of this food basket?
I took the SNAP Challenge – to see what I could buy for the approximately $6 for one day that SNAP now provides for one person.

#SNAPChallenge25 is underway. Here's my food for the week.
Can you live on only fresh whole foods for only $6/day? #snapchallenge25. SB379 in TX proposes to get rid of 'junk food' for SNAP recipients but doesn't provide funds for the extra cost or have provisions for people in shelters or experiencing homelessness or kids trying to fend for themselves.

#SNAPChallenge25 Day 4 and I have a cold. It's been really hard not to reach for the foods I normally would to help. But it's important to recognize how quickly our health can be impacted when we don't have access to high-quality nutritious foods. #HandsOffSNAP #PAHungerCaucus @fracposts.bsky.social

CHN is participating in @fracposts.bsky.social #SNAPChallenge25: What does $6 a day get you at the store?
For 40 million SNAP participants in 22 million households, $6 per day forced them to make tough choices: between healthy produces, fruits and canned, processed food. #HandsOffSNAP

I’m also participating in the #snapchallenge25, and I’m glad to see a member of Congress doing it. I wish more would so they understand how little you can buy for $6 per person/day.

#SNAPChallenge25 Day 3 had me feeling alone so I met up with a friend for 🍻. As the national conversation turns again to policing what SNAP recipients can buy, we should acknowledge that always being in survival mode is as unhealthy as junk food. #HandsOffSNAP #PAHungerCaucus @fracposts.bsky.social

A few reflections on #snapchallenge25 so far:
- it's a lot harder than I remembered
- grocery shopping made me more nervous and anxious than I expected
- I'm incredibly fortunate to have a partner to help, nice kitchen equipment, and years of experience cooking
- not getting enough fruits and veg

I've been participating in the #snapchallenge25 since Sunday but have been bad about posting updates, so here goes.
This week, my family of three is limited to $18/day for all food and beverages (the average daily SNAP benefit is roughly $6/day).

#SNAPChallenge25 Day 2 already has me feeling the difference in what I can afford to eat with the SNAP budget and what I normally eat. 3 meals/day might be doable but they are far from the high quality nutritious foods we all need to stay healthy. #HandsOffSNAP #PAHungerCaucus @fracposts.bsky.social

#SNAPChallenge25 Day 1 (a day late)! Could you do what the average SNAP recipient must - survive on $6/person/day? Now imagine if it was only $4 - which is what SNAP recipients might be looking at if the proposed $230 billion is cut from SNAP. #HandsOffSNAP #PAHungerCaucus @fracposts.bsky.social
