I am extending this invitation to all who visit our blog. Trying to buy food with $4.50 a day for the entire day is a big challenge. It is sad to say in our own country many have to live out of that amount.

I understand many may thing it will not help, so on and so forth. It could be true. What I can assure you of is that it will help your heart, your way of spending money on food you do not need.

Read on and try your best. It is just once a month. Share with us the experience and help us grow in the desire of living poorly.

On Friday, November 4 (the first Friday in November) Catholics are invited to "fast" by limiting meal spending to the amount allotted for a family of their size in the USDA Modified Thrifty Food Plan, which is used as the basis for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly called food stamps). On Friday, November 4, participants can visit the Facebook event page to leave comments about their experiences and access information and reflections on food insecurity in the U.S.A handout on the theme of Poverty in the United States for use on November 4 (http://tiny.cc/4o7op) is also available. First Fridays for Food Security will continue on every first Friday through April 6, 2012.
