My Fox 8 Interview


Harvesters & BeCentsAble Food Stamp Challenge

Well, most of the items are moved out of my pantry and out into the garage pantry. I'm gearing up to start the Food Stamp Challenge, where for one week (June 2-10) my family will live off of the average food stamp benefits for a family of four. This particular challenge is being sponsored by Harvester's of Kansas City MO and BeCentsAble.net. In the near future I'm going to be contacting our branch of Harvester's as well as the media to see if they would like to sponsor the same here. In the mean time all the information for the current challenge including recipes can be found at www.harvesters.org/GetInformed/Index.asp?Reference=FoodStampChallenge2007 and you can register at http://www.becentsable.net/ While you are there check out the Grocery Gathering and BeCentsAble in the Media and find an Educator near you.

If you are in the Greater New Orleans Area and would like to schedule a workshop you can contact me at centsable.ann@gmail.com
