Who uses real food stamps?

How many South Dakotans will be using real food stamps while we're doing this challenge, and how many of those are children? (This question came from Andrine.)

The Food Stamp Program helps over 61,000 low-income South Dakotans purchase food for themselves and their families each month. (Nationwide, more than 26million Americans benefit, along with their families, our farmers, local businesses, and a healthier workforce, in this, the nations most successful anti-hunger initiative.)
Children: About half are children.
In addition, many are elderly, and many have disabilities. Other adults have requirements for work, registration for employment, and/or work training and job search programs.

Question on timing

May we participate even if we can't start on the 11th? I know that I cannot participate on Nov. 11th, but could start on the 12th. (This question came from Andrine.)

Sure, the experience is for your own consciousness raising, as well as the public's. So do as much of it as your are able. If you can do a whole week, Nov 12-18 would make it a shared experience on 6 of your 7 days.
