Day 4 SNAP Challenge reflections

(Editor’s note: Michael Hannigan and Jeff Weinstein have taken the SNAP Challenge, and are eating on the food stamps allowance of $4.80 per day.)

This morning my stomach is telling me I’m hungry. I’ve done a really poor job of planning this week. I never went to the grocery store and basically skipped meals. I know that’s not healthy but my hunch is that it’s typical of many non-planners.

I love the discussion my FB family is having on this issue. We have so many amazing people in Henderson County who care so much about our community. To those of you that chimed in and shared your personal stories of SNAP, your stories were a true gift to each of us.

Today (Thursday), Avery has a dive meet in Frisco. From past experience I know there will be a lot of down time. I need to keep busy so I don’t think about hanging out at the concession stand. Have a great day.
