Day one of Greg’s Hunger Challenge..

Food Outreach Executive Director Greg Lukeman started his Hunger Challenge yesterday with the goal of highlighting the difficulties facing Food Outreach clients who may have to rely on Food Stamps to find nutritious meals and ingredients. His budget: only $25.36 for a full seven days of meals.

He, along with Hunger Challenge participants
Food Outreach Board Member Attilio D’Agostino of ALIVE Magazine, Rachel Storch-state rep from the 64th District, and Jeff Smith, state senator from the 4th District, made a trip to the grocery store yesterday morning to buy their goods. Greg hopped on the bus at 9:30am and headed to the nearest ALDI to see what items he could find on such a limited budget.
