INDIVIDUALS RECIEVED FOODSHARE (11,307 ADULTS, 7,025 CHILDREN)• CHILDREN, AGE 4 AND UNDER MAKE UP

THE LARGEST AGE GROUPING, MAKING UP 13% OF THE RECIPIENTS. 50% OF THE RECIPIENTS ARE AGE 23 AND YOUNGER.

• NEARLY 20% OF FOODSHARE RECIPIENTS ARE ELDERLY, BLIND, OR DISABLED. THE AVERAGE PAYMENT TO THEIR HOUSEHOLD IS $167. HOWEVER, 17% OF THE ELDERLY, BLIND OR DISABLED CASELOAD RECEIVES AN ALLOTMENT OF $20 OR LESS.

• FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM PARTICIPATION HAS INCREASED BY 130% IN THE MARSHFIELD SCHOOL DISTRICT OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS.

What is the SNAP challenge?The Challenge asks individuals and groups to commit to living on the Wisconsin SNAP allotment of $1.30 per person per meal for the determined time frame of the Challenge, and to share with others their experiences.

Why do the SNAP challenge?The SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Challenge gives participants a view of the struggle to obtain adequate food that is faced by millions of low-income Americans. By living on the average food stamp benefit, Challenge participants find themselves forced to make food shopping choices on a limited budget, and learn how difficult it is to avoid hunger, afford nutritious foods, and stay healthy without adequate resources. While living on a food stamp budget for just five days cannot come close to the struggles encountered by low-income families week after week and month after month, it does provide those who take the Challenge with a new perspective and greater understanding.
