We had the opportunity to be a pilot partner with Net Impact National’s Nix program, in order to put on Empathy Week from April 11 - 17, 2016, in which we held 7 events including an overview of SNAP, documentary screenings about living below the line, and a capstone event to discuss empathy and how this experience would transform or actions going forward. Over 200 individuals from both Kellogg and the local Chicago area community either took the SNAP challenge pledge to live on less than $4.40/day for either 1 day up to 5 days, or attended an event. The goal of the week was to provide individuals to experience and think about poverty empathetically.
