First, thank you to those who called Senator Murphy's office asking him to sign on to the amendment protecting the SNAP benefit. It worked - I learned on Friday afternoon that he had done so!
But according to the Capitol Watch blog on the Hartford Courant's website, he's taking it to the next step and planning to take the SNAP Challenge and live on a SNAP budget for a week.
I'll look forward to hearing more about his experience and how it affects him.
Would you like to take part in the SNAP Challenge? Foodshare coordinates this every September as a part of National Hunger Action Month, and we'd welcome your participation and your insights afterwards!
