My Hunger Challenge 2011

I did my first challenge 4 years ago as one of the founding bloggers, and a few
things have changed in the country since then…

1. The amount has gone up from $4 to $4.72/day/person (this is average for
those in California – it’s less in other
states). Likley to be reduced by Republicans in January.

2. The amount of people on food stamps has increased to 44 million nationwide –
21 million are children. The number of new recipients increases 15% each
year.
