Hunger Action Week challenge to West Michigan: Can you live on $4.37 per day?

You spent about $30 on food for the week. But it's only Thursday, and most of the food is gone. You won't be able to buy any more for two days, meaning a few pieces of bread and peanut butter will be your Saturday and Sunday meals.

How is your stomach going to feel by Sunday night?

Area food assistance agencies want you to know.

The organizations are challenging people to live on $30.59 cents during Hunger Action Week from
Sept. 14-20 as part of the "HunGRy?" program. That weekly total breaks down to $4.37 a day.
