Could you feed yourself on five dollars a day? That's the challenge the West Ohio Food Bank is putting out to the community.
September is Hunger Action Month. The food bank is asking community members to try for one week to feed themselves with only $5 a day. That includes everything, breakfast, lunch , dinner and snacks. Five dollars is the amount given from the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
West Ohio Food Bank Executive Director Linda Hamilton says the face of those getting assistance has changed. She hopes this awareness campaign will help community members see that someone struggling to get food on the table could be the family next door.
