SNAP Challenge

Step up to the plate, Minnesota!

The SNAP Challenge took place on November 25-27, 2024. The challenge was to live on a SNAP budget for three days in an effort to highlight the difficulty that our community faces every day.

SNAP is an essential part of our hunger relief ecosystem here in Minnesota. While there is a strong sense of gratitude for this means-tested provision, we recognize the significant gap between survival and a thriving existence. Currently, the minimum monthly benefit is about $23.00*.

To learn more about the SNAP Challenge, view the SNAP Challenge Flyer below.

Though the challenge is now closed we encourage you to share, or take on the challenge yourself. Don’t forget to share your reflections with us on social media using the #StepUpForSNAP. You’ll be helping amplify conversations, raise awareness, and aim to drive long-lasting social and policy changes that move closer to ending food insecurity in our state.

*For single-person households.
