Poverty: Learn what it means...demand that it ends
The Buffalo Poverty Challenge is a three-day event designed to give people first-hand knowledge about what it’s like to live in poverty. Each day, participants will attempt to stick to a specific, poverty-level budget and record their spending. Participants will have to make tough choices about how they spend their limited budget.
  • Do they skip breakfast so they can drive to work?
  • Do they use their cell phones during the day or eat dinner?

Here's how it works
