Hey everyone!
It's obviously been a long time since I've posted, but I thought that instead of trying to catch up on what I've missed, I would instead get back into the groove by talking about my latest endeavor - the OSU SNAP Challenge! Put on by The Ohio State University Food Fellows (and backed by the College of Social Work and Mid-Ohio Food Bank, among several others), the SNAP Challenge is a method to raise awareness of the issues of hunger, poverty, and food insecurity in our nation. For those who are confused as to why I keep saying SNAP, it's an acronym for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as Food Stamps.
