Today the participants met to wrap-up the challenge and share there experiences from the week. Here are some of their reflections:
“Wake up call”
“Your choice was taken away”
“What are [the kids] going to have for lunch tomorrow?”
“To go through a week was not a problem for me but I have a wife who is pregnant and a little fellow. I wouldn’t want them to have to live off the hamper I got. As a family it wouldn’t cut it.”
“Survival’s not good enough”
“There is a hidden society”
“It took a lot of planning. The first thing I did was put the food on the counter and took a pen and paper and strategized.”
“I was encouraged by staff at the food bank who helped me pick out food and told me how to stretch it”
“You don’t have enough calories or sustenance to be active”
